

High Reliability Solutions ("HRS"), which is comprised of our medical, automotive, and defense and aerospace businesses;

We
provide our advanced design, manufacturing and supply chain services through a network of facilities in approximately 30 countries across four continents. We have established this
extensive network of manufacturing facilities in the world's major electronics markets (Asia, the Americas and Europe) in order to serve the outsourcing needs of both multinational and regional
OEMs. Our services increase customer competitiveness by delivering improved product quality, increased flexibility, leading manufacturability, improved performance, faster time-to-market and
competitive costs. Our OEM customers leverage our services to meet their requirements throughout their products' entire life cycles. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we had revenue of
$26.1 billion and net income of $365.6 million.

We
believe that the combination of our extensive open innovation platform solutions, design and engineering services, advanced supply chain management solutions and services, significant
scale and global presence, provide us with a competitive advantage in the market for designing, manufacturing and servicing electronics products for leading multinational and regional
OEMs. Through these services and facilities, we offer our OEM customers accelerated design, increased flexibility and responsiveness, improved time to market, supply chain predictability and
real time visibility which enable them to speed up product launches, quickly enter new markets, mitigate risk and improve free cash flow.

Our
business has been subject to seasonality primarily due to our mobile devices and consumer electronics market exposures, which historically exhibit particular strength generally in
the two quarters leading up to the end of the calendar year in connection with the holiday season.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Our expertise is in the design, manufacturing and supply services for a broad range of products, and as such, the closest definition of
our industry is the outsourcing Electronics Manufacturing Services ("EMS") industry. EMS has experienced significant change and growth as an increasing number of companies elected to outsource some or
all of their design, manufacturing, and after-market services requirements. During the recent years, we have seen an increased level of diversification by many companies, primarily in the technology
sector. Some companies that have historically identified themselves as software providers, internet service providers or e-commerce retailers have started to enter the highly competitive and rapidly
evolving hardware markets, such as mobile devices, home entertainment and wearable devices. This trend has resulted in a significant change in the manufacturing and supply chain solutions requirements
of such companies. While the products have

become
more complex, the supply chain solutions required by such companies have become more customized and demanding, and it has changed the manufacturing and supply chain landscape significantly. The
growth of the overall industry for calendar 2013 is estimated to have been around 3%.

We
believe the total available market for outsourcing continues to offer opportunities for growth with current penetration rates estimated to be less than 30%. The intensely competitive
nature of the electronics industry, the continually increasing complexity and sophistication of electronics products, and pressure on OEMs to reduce product costs and shorter product life
cycles encourage OEMs to utilize broad manufacturing and service providers as part of their business and manufacturing strategies. Utilizing global manufacturing and service providers allows
OEMs to take advantage of the global design, manufacturing and supply chain management expertise of such providers, and enables OEMs to concentrate on product research, development,
marketing and sales. We believe that OEMs realize the following benefits through their strategic relationships with manufacturing and service
providers:



Reduced production costs;



Reduced design and development costs and lead time;



Accelerated time-to-market and time-to-volume production;



Reduced capital investment requirements and fixed costs;



Improved inventory management and purchasing power;



Access to worldwide design, engineering, manufacturing, and after-market service capabilities; and



Ability to focus on core branding and R&D initiatives.

We
believe that growth in the EMS industry will be driven largely by the needs of OEMs to respond to rapidly changing markets and technologies, the increasing complexity of supply
chains and the continued pressure to be cost competitive. Additionally, we believe that there are significant opportunities for global manufacturing and service providers to win additional business
from OEMs in certain markets or industry segments that have yet to substantially utilize such providers.

SERVICE OFFERINGS

We offer a broad range of customer-tailored services to OEMs. We believe that Flextronics has the broadest worldwide end-to-end
supply chain solutions and capabilities in the industry, from concept design resources to aftermarket services. We believe a key competitive advantage is the Flextronics Platform, which is our system
for creating value for our customers to increase competitiveness by providing real-time information for speed of decision making, end-to-end

We
are exposed to different or greater potential liabilities from our various design services than those we face in our core assembly and manufacturing services. See "Risk
FactorsThe success of certain of our activities depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; intellectual property infringement claims against our customers or us
could harm our business."

Systems Assembly and Manufacturing. Our assembly and manufacturing operations, which generate the majority of our revenues, include
printed circuit board assembly and assembly of
systems and subsystems that incorporate printed circuit boards and complex electromechanical components. We often assemble electronics products with our proprietary printed circuit boards and custom
electronic enclosures on either a build-to-order or configure-to-order basis. In these operations, we employ just-in-time, ship-to-stock and ship-to-line programs, continuous flow manufacturing,
demand flow processes, and statistical process controls. As OEMs seek to provide greater functionality in smaller products, they increasingly require more sophisticated manufacturing
technologies and processes. Our investment in advanced manufacturing equipment and our experience and expertise in innovative miniaturization, packaging and interconnect technologies, enables us to
offer a variety of advanced manufacturing solutions. We support a wide range of product demand profiles, from lowvolume, high-complexity programs to high-volume production. Continuous
focus on lean manufacturing, a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-value-added activities) through continuous improvement based on customer demand, allows us to increase our
efficiency and flexibility to meet our customers' dynamic requirements. Our systems assembly and manufacturing expertise includes the following:



design for manufacturing and design for environment services to our customers to jointly improve customer product design and manufacturing.



Materials Procurement and Inventory
Management. Our manufacturing and assembly operations capitalize on our materials inventory management expertise and
volume procurement capabilities. As a result, we believe that we are able to achieve highly competitive cost reductions and reduce total manufacturing cycle time for our OEM customers. Materials
procurement and management consist of the planning, purchasing, expediting and warehousing of components and materials used in the manufacturing process. In addition, our strategy includes having
third-party suppliers of custom components located in our industrial parks to reduce material and transportation costs, simplify logistics and facilitate inventory management. We also use a
sophisticated automated manufacturing resource planning system and enhanced electronic data interchange capabilities to ensure inventory control and optimization. Through our manufacturing resources
planning system, we have real-time visibility of material availability and are able to track the work in process. We utilize electronic data interchange with our customers and suppliers to implement a
variety of supply chain management programs. Electronic data interchange allows customers to share demand and product forecasts and deliver purchase orders and assists suppliers with satisfying
just-in-time delivery and supplier-managed inventory requirements. This also enables us to implement vendor managed inventory solutions to increase flexibility and reduce overall capital allocation in
the supply chain. We procure a wide assortment of materials, including electronic components, plastics and metals. There are a number of sources for these materials, including from customers for whom
we are providing systems assembly and manufacturing services. On some occasions, there have been shortages in certain electronic components, most recently with regard to connectors, capacitors, LCD
panels and memory (both DRAM and Flash). However, such shortages have not had a material impact on our operating results for any periods presented. See "Risk FactorsWe may be adversely
affected by shortages of required electronic components."

Component businesses. We offer the following components product solutions:



Rigid and Flexible Printed Circuit Board ("PCB")
Fabrication. Printed circuit boards are platforms composed of laminated materials that provide the interconnection for
integrated circuits, passive and other electronic components and thus are at the heart of almost every electrical system. They are formed out of multi-layered epoxy resin and glass cloth systems with
very fine traces and spaces and plated holes (called vias), which interconnect the different layers to an extremely dense circuitry network that carries the integrated circuits and electrical signals.
As semiconductor designs become more and more complex and signal speeds increase, there is an increasing demand on printed circuit board integration density requiring higher layer counts, finer lines
and spacings, smaller vias (microvias) and base materials with electrically very low electrical loss characteristics. The manufacturing of these complex multilayer interconnect products often requires
the use of sophisticated circuit interconnections between layers, and adherence to strict electrical characteristics to maintain consistent circuit transmission speeds and impedances. The global
demand for wireless devices and the complexity of wireless products are driving the demand for more flexible printed circuits. Flexible circuit boards facilitate a reduction in the weight of a
finished

electronic
product and allow the designer to use the third dimension in designing new products or product features. Flexible circuits have become a very attractive design alternative for many new and
emerging application spaces such as automotive rear light-emitting diode ("LED") lighting, tablet computers, and miniaturized radio frequency identification tags or smart cards. We are an industry
leader in high-density interconnect with the Every Layer Inter Connect ("ELIC") technology, which is used in smart phone designs, and multilayer constructions which are used in advanced routers and
switches, telecom equipment, servers, storage, and flexible printed circuit boards and flexible printed circuit board assemblies. Our PCB business (Multek) manufactures printed circuit boards on a
low-volume, quick-turn basis, as well as on a high-volume production basis. We provide quick-turn prototype services that allow us to provide small test quantities to meet the needs of customers'
product development groups in as little as 48 hours. Our extensive range of services enables us to respond to our customers' demands for an accelerated transition from prototype to volume
production. Multek offers a one stop solution from design to manufacturing of PCB, flexible circuits and rigid flex circuits and sub-assemblies. We have printed circuit board and flexible circuit
fabrication service capabilities in North America and Asia. During fiscal year 2014 we completed the closing of our Multek factories in Germany and Brazil. We believe this will drive operational
efficiencies, and result in an optimization of our system, which will lower the revenue level required to achieve better margins. Going forward, our PCB capabilities will be centered in Asia and North
America.

CUSTOMERS

Our customers include many of the world's leading technology companies. We have focused on establishing long-term relationships with
our customers and have been successful in expanding our relationships to incorporate additional product lines and services. In fiscal year 2014, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately
52% of net sales. Only Google (including Motorola) accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2014.

The
following table lists in alphabetical order a sample of our largest customers in fiscal year 2014 and the end products of those customers for which we provide design, manufacturing
or after-market services:

Although we obtain firm purchase orders from our customers, OEM customers typically do not make firm orders for delivery of products
more than 30 to 90 days in advance. In addition, OEM customers may reschedule or cancel firm orders based upon contractual arrangements. Therefore, we do not believe that the backlog of
expected product sales covered by firm purchase orders is a meaningful measure of future sales.

COMPETITION

Our market is extremely competitive and includes many companies, several of which have achieved substantial market share. We compete
against numerous domestic and foreign manufacturing service providers, as well as our current and prospective customers, who evaluate our capabilities in light of their own capabilities and cost
structures. We face particular competition from Asian based competitors, including Taiwanese ODM suppliers who compete in a variety of our end markets and have a substantial share of global
information technology hardware production.

We
compete with different companies depending on the type of service we are providing or the geographic area in which an activity takes place. We believe that the principal competitive
factors in the manufacturing services market are: quality and range of services; design and technological capabilities; cost; location of facilities; responsiveness and flexibility.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our corporate social responsibility practices focus on global human rights, global environmental conditions, business ethics, and the
health and safety of all stakeholders. We do this with controlled business processes, thus ensuring that our business is conducted in a manner that goes beyond compliance alone. We operate programs,
including compliance audits and compliance capability building programs that focus on driving continuous improvements in social, ethical, and environmental compliance throughout all of our global
operating units in accordance with our Code of Conduct. As a guide to achieve this end, Flextronics looks at principles, policies, and standards as prescribed by the

Electronics
Industry Citizenship Coalition ("EICC"), a worldwide association of electronics companies committed to promoting an industry code of conduct for global electronics supply chains to improve
working and environmental conditions. Flextronics is a founding member of the EICC.

Being
a good corporate citizen does not mean that we should merely conform to the standards. We extend beyond meeting responsibilities by offering a wide range of programs and
initiatives that engage our internal and external communities. At the heart of this endeavor lies our pragmatic goal of creating a difference to the people in the community in which we operate. We
intend to continue to invest in these global communities through grant-making, financial contributions, volunteer work, support programs and by donating resources.

The
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), Section 1502 introduces reporting requirements related to the verification of whether
Flextronics directly (or indirectly through suppliers of materials) is purchasing the minerals or metals gold, columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is
extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tugsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or any other mineral or its derivatives as
determined by the Secretary of State with financing conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoin country. Flextronics is working directly with suppliers, industry groups, and
customers to comply with the due diligence reporting requirements necessary to comply with the new law. See "Risk FactorCompliance with government regulations regarding the use of
"conflict minerals" may result in increased costs and risks to us."

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

Our operations are regulated under various federal, state, local and international laws governing the environment, including laws
governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We have fully implemented processes
and procedures to ensure that our operations are in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. We do not believe that costs of compliance with these laws and regulations will have a
material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, operating results, or competitive position. In addition, we are responsible for cleanup of contamination at some of our current and former
manufacturing facilities and at some third-party sites. We engage environmental consulting firms to assist us in the evaluation of environmental liabilities of our ongoing operations, historical
disposal activities and closed sites in order to establish appropriate accruals in our financial statements. We determine the amount of our accruals for environmental matters by analyzing and
estimating the probability of occurrence and the reasonable possibility of incurring costs in light of information currently available. The imposition of more stringent standards or requirements under
environmental laws or regulations, the results of future testing and analysis
undertaken by us at our operating facilities, or a determination that we are potentially responsible for the release of hazardous substances at other sites could result in expenditures in excess of
amounts currently estimated to be required for such matters. There can be no assurance that additional environmental matters will not arise in the future or that costs will not be incurred with
respect to sites as to which no problem is currently known.

We
are also required to comply with an increasing number of product environmental compliance regulations focused on the restriction of certain hazardous substances. For example, the
electronics industry is subject to the European Union's ("EU") Restrictions on Hazardous Substances ("RoHS") 2011/65/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("WEEE") 2012/19/EU directives, the
regulation EC 1907/2006 EU Directive REACH ("Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals"), and China RoHS entitled, Management Methods for Controlling Pollution for
Electronic Information Products ("EIPs"). Similar legislation has been or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States. Our business requires close collaboration with our

customers
and suppliers to mitigate risk of non-compliance. We have developed rigorous risk mitigating compliance programs designed to meet the needs of our customers as well as the regulations. These
programs vary from collecting compliance or material data from our Flextronics owned suppliers to full laboratory testing, and we require our supply chain to comply. Non-compliance could potentially
result in significant costs and/or penalties. RoHS and other similar legislation bans or restricts the use of lead, mercury and certain other specified substances in electronics products and WEEE
requires EU importers and/or producers to assume responsibility for the collection, recycling and management of waste electronic products and components. In the case of WEEE, although the compliance
responsibility rests primarily with the EU importers and/or producers rather than with EMS companies, OEMs may turn to EMS companies for assistance in meeting their WEEE obligations. New
technical classifications of e-Waste being discussed in the Basel Convention technical working group could affect both Flextronics and Flextronics' customers abilities and obligations in electronics
repair and refurbishment. Flextronics continues to monitor these discussions and is working with our customers and other technical organizations to minimize the impact to legal and responsibly managed
repair operations.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 2014, our global workforce totaled approximately 150,000 permanent employees. In certain international
locations, our employees are represented by labor unions and by work councils. We have never experienced a significant work stoppage or strike, and we believe that our employee relations are good.

Our
success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of key managerial and technical employees. The loss of such personnel could seriously harm our business, results of
operations and business prospects. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting or retaining such personnel.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We own or license various United States and foreign patents relating to a variety of technologies. For certain of our proprietary
processes, we rely on trade secret protection. We also have registered our corporate name and several other trademarks and service marks that we use in our business in the United States and other
countries throughout the world. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of our intellectual property was not material.

Although
we believe that our intellectual property assets and licenses are sufficient for the operation of our business as we currently conduct it, from time to time third parties do
assert patent infringement claims against us or our customers. In addition, we provide design and engineering services to our customers and also design and make our own products. As a consequence of
these activities, our customers are requiring us to take responsibility for intellectual property to a greater extent than in our manufacturing and assembly businesses. If and when third parties make
assertions regarding the ownership or right to use intellectual property, we could be required to either enter into licensing arrangements or to resolve the issue through litigation. Such license
rights might not be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, and any such litigation might not be resolved in our favor. Additionally, litigation could be lengthy and costly and
could materially harm our financial condition regardless of the outcome. We also could be required to incur substantial costs to redesign a product or re-perform design services.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We depend on industries that continually produce technologically advanced products with short life cycles and our business would be adversely affected if our customers'
products are not successful or if our customers lose market share.

We derive our revenues from customers in the following business groups:



HRS, which is comprised of our medical, automotive, defense and aerospace businesses;

Factors
affecting any of these industries in general or our customers in particular, could adversely impact us. These factors include:



rapid changes in technology, evolving industry standards and requirements for continuous improvement in products and
services result in short product life cycles;



demand for our customers' products may be seasonal;



our customers may fail to successfully market their products, and our customers' products may fail to gain widespread
commercial acceptance;



our customers may experience dramatic market share shifts in demand which may cause them to lose market share or exit the
business; and



there may be recessionary periods in our customers' markets, such as the recent global economic downturn.

Our customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or locations, or delay production, and the inherent difficulties involved in responding to these demands
could harm our business.

Cancellations, reductions or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers have harmed, and may in the future harm, our
results of operations by reducing the volumes of products we manufacture and deliver for these customers, by causing a delay in the repayment of our expenditures for inventory in preparation for
customer orders and by lowering our asset utilization resulting in lower gross margins. Additionally, current and prospective customers continuously evaluate our capabilities

against
other providers as well as against the merits of manufacturing products themselves. Our business would be adversely affected if OEMs decide to perform these functions internally or
transfer their business to another provider.

As
a provider of design and manufacturing services and components for electronics, we must provide increasingly rapid product turnaround time for our customers. We generally do not
obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers, and we often experience reduced lead times in customer orders which may be less than the lead time we require to procure necessary
components and materials.

The
short-term nature of our customers' commitments and the rapid changes in demand for their products reduces our ability to accurately estimate the future requirements of our
customers. This makes it difficult to schedule production and maximize utilization of our manufacturing capacity. In that regard, we must make significant decisions, including determining the levels
of business that we will seek and accept, setting production schedules, making component procurement commitments, and allocating personnel and other resources, based on our estimates of our customers'
requirements.

On
occasion, customers require rapid increases in production or require that manufacturing of their products be transitioned from one facility to another to reduce costs or achieve other
objectives. These demands stress our resources and reduce our margins. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers' demands, and transfers from one facility to another
can result in inefficiencies and costs due to excess capacity in one facility and corresponding capacity constraints at another. Due to many of our costs and operating expenses being relatively fixed,
customer order fluctuations, deferrals and transfers of demand from one facility to another, as described above, have
had a material adverse effect on our operating results in the past and we may experience such effects in the future.

Our industry is extremely competitive; if we are not able to continue to provide competitive services, we may lose business.

We compete with a number of different companies, depending on the type of service we provide or the location of our operations. For
example, we compete with major global EMS providers, other smaller EMS companies that have a regional or product-specific focus and ODMs with respect to some of the services that we provide. We
also compete with our current and prospective customers, who evaluate our capabilities in light of their own capabilities and cost structures. Our industry is extremely competitive, many of our
competitors have achieved substantial market share, and some may have lower cost structures or greater design, manufacturing, financial or other resources than we do. We face particular competition
from Asian-based competitors, including Taiwanese ODM suppliers who compete in a variety of our end markets and have a substantial share of global information technology hardware production. If we are
unable to provide comparable manufacturing services and improved products at lower cost than the other companies in our market, our net sales could decline.

The majority of our sales come from a small number of customers and a decline in sales to any of these customers could adversely affect our business.

Sales to our ten largest customers represent a significant percentage of our net sales. Our ten largest customers accounted for
approximately 52%, 47% and 55% of net sales in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Only Google (including Motorola) accounted for more than 10% of net sales in fiscal 2014. No customer
accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2013. Our largest customers during fiscal year 2012 were Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Blackberry, which each accounted for more than 10%
of net sales. Our principal customers have varied from year to year. These customers may experience dramatic declines in their market shares or competitive position, due to economic or other forces,
that may cause them to reduce their purchases from us or, in some cases, result in the termination of their relationship with us. Significant reductions in sales to any of these customers, or the loss
of major customers, would materially harm our business. If we are not able to timely replace expired, canceled or reduced contracts with new business, our revenues and profitability could be harmed.

Our components business is dependent on our ability to quickly launch world-class components products, and our investment in the development of our component capabilities,
together with the start-up and integration costs necessary to achieve quick launches of world-class components products, may adversely affect our margins and profitability.

Our components business, which includes rigid and flexible printed circuit board fabrication, and power supplies manufacturing, is part
of our strategy to improve our competitive position and to grow our future margins, profitability and shareholder returns by expanding our capabilities. The success of our components business is
dependent on our ability to design and introduce world-class components that have performance characteristics which are suitable for a broad market and that offer significant price and/or performance
advantages over competitive products.

To
create these world class components offerings, we must continue to make substantial investments in the development of our components capabilities, in resources such as research and
development, technology licensing, test and tooling equipment, facility expansions and personnel requirements. We may not be able to achieve or maintain market acceptance for any of our components
offerings in any of our current or target markets. The success of our components business will also depend upon the level of market acceptance of our customers' end products, which incorporate our
components, and over which we have no control.

In
addition, OEMs often require unique configurations or custom designs which must be developed and integrated in the OEM's product well before the product is launched by the OEM.
Thus, there is often substantial lead time between the commencement of design efforts for a customized component and the commencement of volume shipments of the component to the OEM. As a result, we
may make substantial investments in the development and customization of products for our customers, and no revenue may be generated from these efforts if our customers do not accept the customized
component. Even if our customers accept the customized component, if our customers do not purchase anticipated levels of products, we may not realize any profits.

Our
achievement of anticipated levels of profitability in our components business is also dependent on our ability to achieve efficiencies in our manufacturing as well as to manufacture
components in commercial quantities to the performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers. As a result of these and other risks, we have been, and in the future may be, unable to achieve
anticipated levels of profitability in our components business.

We provide manufacturing services to companies and industries that have in the past, and may in the future, experience financial
difficulty. If our customers experience financial difficulty, we could have difficulty recovering amounts owed to us from these customers, or demand for our products from these customers could
decline. Additionally, if our suppliers experience financial difficulty we could have difficulty sourcing supply necessary to fulfil production requirements and meet scheduled shipments. If one or
more of our customers were to become insolvent or otherwise were unable to pay for the services provided by us on a timely basis, or at all, our operating results and financial condition could be
adversely affected. Such adverse effects could include one or more of the following: an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, a charge for inventory write-offs, a reduction in revenue, and
an increase in our working capital requirements due to higher inventory levels and increases in days our accounts receivable are outstanding.

We may be adversely affected by shortages of required electronic components.

From time to time, we have experienced shortages of some of the electronic components that we use. These shortages can result from
strong demand for those components or from problems experienced by suppliers, such as shortages of raw materials. These unanticipated component shortages could result in curtailed production or delays
in production, which may prevent us from making scheduled shipments to customers. Our inability to make scheduled shipments could cause us to experience a reduction in sales, increase in inventory
levels and costs, and could adversely affect relationships with existing and prospective customers. Component shortages may also increase our cost of goods sold because we may be required to pay
higher prices for components in short supply and redesign or reconfigure products to accommodate substitute components. As a result, component shortages could adversely affect our operating results.
Our performance depends, in part, on our ability to incorporate changes in component costs into the selling prices for our products.

Our
supply chain may also be impacted by other events outside our control, including macro-economic events, political crises or natural or environmental occurrences. Component shortages
impacted our results during fiscal year 2012. The supply constraints were broad based, but the impact was most evident with respect to connectors, capacitors, LCD panels and memory (both DRAM and
Flash). The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan resulted in disruptions to our supply chain, as a large number of our suppliers of semiconductors and other electronic components are located in
Japan. These disruptions had a negative impact on our revenue in the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2012.

Our margins and profitability may be adversely affected due to substantial investments, start-up and production ramping costs in our design services.

As part of our strategy to enhance our end-to-end service offerings, we have expanded and continue to expand our design and engineering
capabilities. Providing these services can expose us to different or greater potential risks than those we face when providing our manufacturing services.

Although
we enter into contracts with our design services customers, we may design and develop products for these customers prior to receiving a purchase order or other firm commitment
from them. We are required to make substantial investments in the resources necessary to design and develop these products, and no revenue may be generated from these efforts if our customers do not
approve the designs in a timely manner or at all. Even if our customers accept our designs, if they do not then purchase anticipated levels of products, we may not realize any profits. Our design
activities often require that we purchase inventory for initial production runs before we have a purchase commitment from a customer. Even after we have a contract with a customer with respect to a
product, these contracts may allow the customer to delay or cancel deliveries and may not obligate the customer to

any
particular volume of purchases. These contracts can generally be terminated on short notice. In addition, some of the products we design and develop must satisfy safety and regulatory standards
and some must receive government certifications. If we fail to obtain these approvals or certifications on a timely basis, we would be unable to sell these products, which would harm our sales,
profitability and reputation.

Due
to the increased risks associated with our design services offerings, we may not be able to achieve a high enough level of sales for this business, and the significant investments in
research and development, technology licensing, test and tooling equipment, patent applications, facility expansion and recruitment that it requires, to be profitable. The initial costs of investing
in the resources necessary to expand our design and engineering capabilities, and in particular to support our design services offerings, have historically adversely affected our profitability, and
may continue to do so as we continue to make investments in these capabilities.

In
addition, we agree to certain product price limitations and cost reduction targets in connection with these services. Inflationary and other increases in the costs of the raw
materials and labor required to produce the products have occurred and may recur from time to time. Also, the production ramps for these programs are typically significant and negatively impact our
margin in early stages as the manufacturing volumes are lower and result in inefficiencies and unabsorbed manufacturing overhead
costs. We may not be able to reduce costs, incorporate changes in costs into the selling prices of our products, or increase operating efficiencies as we ramp production of our products, which would
adversely affect our margins and our results of operations.

We conduct operations in a number of countries and are subject to risks of international operations.

The distances between the Americas, Asia and Europe create a number of logistical and communications challenges for us. These
challenges include managing operations across multiple time zones, directing the manufacture and delivery of products across distances, coordinating procurement of components and raw materials and
their delivery to multiple locations, and coordinating the activities and decisions of the core management team, which is based in a number of different countries. Facilities in several different
locations may be involved at different stages of the production process of a single product, leading to additional logistical difficulties.

Because
our manufacturing operations are located in a number of countries throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe, we are subject to risks of changes in economic and political
conditions in those countries, including:

The
attractiveness of our services to U.S. customers can be affected by changes in U.S. trade policies, such as most favored nation status and trade preferences for some Asian countries.
In addition, some countries in which we operate, such as Brazil, Hungary, India, Mexico, Malaysia and Poland, have experienced periods of slow or negative growth, high inflation, significant currency
devaluations or limited availability of foreign exchange. Furthermore, in countries such as China, Brazil and Mexico, governmental authorities exercise significant influence over many aspects of the
economy, and their actions could have a significant effect on us. We could be seriously harmed by inadequate infrastructure, including lack of adequate power and water supplies, transportation, raw
materials and parts in countries in which we operate. In addition, we may encounter labor disruptions and rising
labor costs, in particular within the lower-cost regions in which we operate. Any increase in labor costs that we are unable to recover in our pricing to our customers could adversely impact our
operating results.

Operations
in foreign countries also present risks associated with currency exchange and convertibility, inflation and repatriation of earnings. In some countries, economic and monetary
conditions and other factors could affect our ability to convert our cash distributions to U.S. dollars or other freely convertible currencies, or to move funds from our accounts in these countries.
Furthermore, the central bank of any of these countries may have the authority to suspend, restrict or otherwise impose conditions on foreign exchange transactions or to approve distributions to
foreign investors.

The success of certain of our activities depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; intellectual property infringement claims against our customers
or us could harm our business.

We retain certain intellectual property rights to some of the technologies that we develop as part of our engineering, design and
manufacturing services and components offerings. The measures we have taken to prevent unauthorized use of our technology may not be successful. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property
rights, this could reduce or eliminate the competitive advantages of our proprietary technology, which would harm our business.

Our
engineering, design and manufacturing services and components offerings involve the creation and use of intellectual property rights, which subject us to the risk of claims of
intellectual property infringement from third parties, as well as claims arising from the allocation of intellectual property rights among us and our customers. In addition, our customers are
increasingly requiring us to indemnify them against the risk of intellectual property infringement. If any claims are brought against us or our customers for such infringement, whether or not these
have merit, we could be required to expend significant resources in defense of such claims. In the event of such an infringement claim, we may be required to spend a significant amount of money to
develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such alternatives or obtaining such licenses on reasonable terms or at all.

If our security systems are breached, we may incur significant legal and financial exposure.

We have implemented security systems with the intent of maintaining the physical security of our facilities and inventory and
protecting our customers' and our suppliers' confidential information. We regularly face attempts by others to gain unauthorized access through the Internet or to introduce malicious software to our
information systems. Despite our efforts, we are subject to, and at times have suffered from, breach of these security systems which have in the past and
may in the future result in unauthorized access to our facilities and/or unauthorized use or theft of the inventory or information we are trying to protect. If unauthorized parties gain physical
access to our inventory or if they gain

electronic
access to our information systems or if such information or inventory is used in an unauthorized manner, misdirected, lost or stolen during transmission or transport, any theft or misuse of
such information or inventory could result in, among other things, unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and oversight, difficulty in marketing our services, allegations by our customers that we
have not performed our contractual obligations, litigation by affected parties including our customers and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information
or inventory, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flow. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology
and our operations from the breach of our security systems.

If our compliance policies are breached, we may incur significant legal and financial exposure.

We have implemented local and global compliance policies to ensure compliance with our legal obligations across our operations. A
significant legal risk resulting from our international operations is compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or similar local laws of the countries in which we do business, including
the UK Anti-Bribery Act, which prohibits covered companies from making payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. Our Code of Business Conduct prohibits
corrupt payments on a global basis and precludes us from offering or giving anything of value to a government official for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, to win a business advantage
or to improperly influence a decision regarding Flextronics. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that all of our employees and agents will refrain from taking actions in violation of this and our
related anti-corruption policies and procedures. Any such violation could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to risks relating to litigation, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

From time to time, we are involved in various claims, suits, investigations and legal proceedings. Additional legal claims or
regulatory matters may arise in the future and could involve matters relating to commercial disputes, government regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, antitrust, tax, employment or
shareholder issues, product liability claims and other issues on a
global basis. Regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be both time-consuming and disruptive to our business. The defense and ultimate outcome of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings
may result in higher operating expenses and a decrease in operating margin, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Compliance with government regulations regarding the use of "conflict minerals" may result in increased costs and risks to us.

As part of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC has promulgated disclosure requirements regarding the use of certain minerals (the "Minerals"),
which may be mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. The disclosure requirements will take effect for the Company in May 2014 with regards to products manufactured during
calendar year 2013. We will have to publicly disclose whether the products we sell contain these Minerals and have and may continue to incur significant costs related to implementing a process that
will meet the mandates of the Act. Additionally, customers rely on us to provide critical data regarding the products they purchase and will likely request information on such Minerals. Our materials
sourcing is broad-based and multi-tiered, and we may not be able to easily verify the origins of the Minerals used in the products we sell. We have many suppliers and each may provide the required
information in a different manner, if at all. Accordingly, because the supply chain is complex, our reputation may suffer if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the Minerals, if any,
used in our products. Additionally, customers may demand that the products they purchase be free of any Minerals originating in the specified countries. The implementation of this requirement could
affect the sourcing and availability of products we purchase

from
our suppliers. This may reduce the number of suppliers that may be able to provide products and may affect our ability to obtain products in sufficient quantities to meet customer demand or at
competitive prices.

We may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes for medical devices, which could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.

As a medical device manufacturer, we have additional compliance requirements. We are required to register with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation ("QSR") requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to
adhere to certain
regulations, including testing, quality control and documentation procedures. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored through
periodic inspections and product field monitoring by the FDA. If any FDA inspection reveals noncompliance with QSR or other FDA regulations, and the Company does not address the observation adequately
to the satisfaction of the FDA, the FDA may take action against us. FDA actions may include issuing a letter of inspectional observations, issuing a warning letter, imposing fines, bringing an action
against the Company and its officers, requiring a recall of the products we manufactured for our customers, refusing requests for clearance or approval of new products or withdrawal of clearance or
approval previously granted, issuing an import detention on products entering the U.S. from an offshore facility, or shutting down a manufacturing facility. If any of these actions were to occur, it
would harm our reputation and cause our business to suffer.

In
the European Union ("EU"), we are required to maintain certain standardized certifications in order to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections to obtain and maintain
these certifications. Continued noncompliance to the EU regulations could stop the flow of products into the EU from us or from our customers. In China, the Safe Food and Drug Administration controls
and regulates the manufacture and commerce of healthcare products. We must comply with the regulatory laws applicable to medical device manufactures or our ability to manufacture products in China
could be impacted. In Japan, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Laws regulate the manufacture and commerce of healthcare products. These regulations also require that subcontractors manufacturing products
intended for sale in Japan register with authorities and submit to regulatory audits. Other Asian countries where we operate have similar laws regarding the regulation of medical device manufacturing.

We are subject to the risk of increased income taxes.

We are subject to taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings
in countries with differing statutory rates and changes in tax laws or their interpretation including changes related to tax holidays or tax incentives. Our taxes could increase if certain tax
holidays or incentives are not renewed upon expiration, or if tax rates applicable to us in such jurisdictions are otherwise increased. Our continued ability to qualify for specific tax holiday
extensions will depend on, among other things, our anticipated investment and expansion in these countries and the manner in which the local governments interpret the requirements for modifications,
extensions or new incentives.

In
addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are regularly subject to tax return audits and examinations by various taxing jurisdictions around the world. In determining the adequacy of
our provision for income taxes, we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from tax examinations. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the
resolution of a tax examination, we believe that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits reflect the outcome of tax positions that are more likely than not to occur. However, we cannot assure you that
the final determination of any tax examinations will not be materially different than that which is reflected in

our
income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of a current or future examination, there could be a material adverse effect on our tax provision, operating
results, financial position and cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made.

If our products or components contain defects, demand for our services may decline and we may be exposed to product liability and product warranty liability.

Defects in the products we manufacture or design, whether caused by a design, engineering, manufacturing or component failure or
deficiencies in our manufacturing processes, could result in product or component failures, which may damage our business reputation and expose us to product liability or product warranty claims.

Product
liability claims may include liability for personal injury or property damage. Product warranty claims may include liability to pay for the recall, repair or replacement of a
product or component. Although we generally allocate liability for these claims in our contracts with our customers, increasingly we are unsuccessful in allocating such liability, and even where we
have allocated liability to our customers, our customers may not have the resources to satisfy claims for costs or liabilities arising from a defective product or component for which they have assumed
responsibility.

If
we design, engineer or manufacture a product or component that is found to cause any personal injury or property damage or is otherwise found to be defective, we could spend a
significant amount of money to resolve the claim. In addition, product liability and product recall insurance coverage are expensive and may not be available with respect to all of our services
offerings on acceptable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. A successful product liability or product warranty claim in excess of our insurance coverage or any material claim for which insurance
coverage is denied, limited or is not available could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including regulations governing the
use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous substances used in our manufacturing processes. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the recyclability of products, the materials
that may be included in products, and our
obligations to dispose of these products after end users have finished with them. Additionally, we may be exposed to liability to our customers relating to the materials that may be included in the
components that we procure for our customers' products. Any violation or alleged violation by us of environmental laws could subject us to significant costs, fines or other penalties.

We
are also required to comply with an increasing number of global and local product environmental compliance regulations focused on the restriction of certain hazardous substances. We
are subject to the EU directives, including the Restrictions on RoHS, the WEEE as well as the EU's REACH regulation. In addition, new technical classifications of e-Waste being discussed in the Basel
Convention technical working group could affect both our customers' abilities and obligations in electronics repair and refurbishment. Also of note is China's Management Methods for Controlling
Pollution Caused by EIPs regulation, commonly referred to as "China RoHS", which restricts the importation into and production within China of electrical equipment containing certain hazardous
materials. Similar legislation has been or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States. RoHS and other similar legislation bans or restricts the use of lead, mercury and
certain other specified substances in electronics products and WEEE requires EU importers and/or producers to assume responsibility for the collection, recycling and management of waste electronic
products and components. We have developed rigorous risk mitigating compliance programs designed to meet the needs of our customers as well as applicable regulations. These programs may include
collecting

compliance
data from our suppliers, full laboratory testing and public reporting of other environmental metrics such as carbon emissions, electronic waste and water, and we also require our supply
chain to comply. Non-compliance could potentially result in significant costs and/or penalties. In the case of WEEE, the compliance responsibility rests primarily with the EU importers and/or
producers rather than with EMS companies. However, OEMs may turn to EMS companies for assistance in meeting their obligations under WEEE.

In
addition, we are responsible for cleanup of contamination at some of our current and former manufacturing facilities and at some third party sites. If more stringent compliance or
cleanup standards under environmental laws or regulations are imposed, or the results of future testing and analyses at our current or former operating facilities indicate that we are responsible for
the release of hazardous substances into the air, ground and/or water, we may be subject to additional liability. Additional environmental matters may arise in the future at sites where no problem is
currently known or at sites that we may acquire in the future. Our failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations or adequately address contaminated sites could limit our ability to expand
our facilities or could require us to incur significant expenses, which would harm our business.

If we do not effectively manage changes in our operations, our business may be harmed; we have taken substantial restructuring charges in the past and we may need to take
material restructuring charges in the future.

In recent years, we have experienced growth in our business through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. However, our
business also has been negatively impacted by the recent adverse global economic conditions. The expansion of our business, as well as business contractions and other changes in our customers'
requirements, have in the past, and may in the future, require that we adjust our business and cost structures by incurring restructuring charges. Restructuring activities involve reductions in our
workforce at some locations and closure of certain facilities. All of these changes have in the past placed, and may in the future place, considerable strain on our financial and management control
systems and resources, including decision support, accounting management, information systems and facilities. If we do not properly manage our financial and management controls, reporting systems and
procedures to manage our employees, our business could be harmed.

In
recent years, including during fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we undertook initiatives to restructure our business operations through a series of restructuring activities, which were
intended to realign our global capacity and infrastructure with demand by our OEM customers and thereby improve our operational efficiency. These activities included reducing excess workforce and
capacity, transitioning manufacturing to lower-cost locations and eliminating redundant facilities, and consolidating and eliminating certain administrative facilities.

While
we incur severance, asset impairment charges and other charges as a result of changes in our customer mix on an ongoing basis, such individual actions were not considered material
and did not qualify as restructuring charges per accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to be separately disclosed as restructuring charges in fiscal year 2012, and are included
in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, as appropriate. Our restructuring activities undertaken during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 have been disclosed separately on our
statement of operations. We may be required to take additional charges in the future to align our operations and cost structures with global economic conditions, market demands, cost competitiveness,
and our geographic footprint as it relates to our customers' production requirements. We may consolidate certain manufacturing facilities or transfer certain of our operations to lower cost
geographies. If we are required to take additional restructuring charges in the future, our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows could be adversely impacted. Additionally, there are
other potential risks associated with our restructurings that could adversely affect us, such as delays encountered with the

We have manufacturing operations and industrial parks that are located in lower cost regions of the world, such as Asia, Eastern Europe
and Mexico. Most of our purchase and some of our sale transactions are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. As a result, we are exposed to fluctuations in these currencies
impacting our fixed cost overhead or our supply base relative to the currencies in which we conduct transactions.

Currency
exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis as a result of a number of factors, including changes in a country's political and economic policies. Volatility in the functional and
non-functional currencies of our entities and the United States dollar could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition. The primary impact of currency exchange
fluctuations is on the cash, receivables, payables and expenses of our operating entities. As part of our currency hedging strategy, we use financial instruments, primarily forward exchange and swap
contracts, to hedge our foreign currency exposure in order to reduce the short-term impact of foreign currency rate fluctuations on our operating results. If our hedging activities are not successful
or if we change or reduce these hedging activities in the future, we may experience significant unexpected fluctuations in our operating results as a result of changes in exchange rates.

We
are also exposed to risks related to the valuation of the Chinese currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Chinese currency is the renminbi ("RMB"). A significant increase in the
value of the RMB could adversely affect our financial results and cash flows by increasing both our manufacturing costs and the costs of our local supply base.

We depend on our executive officers and skilled management personnel.

Our success depends to a large extent upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key employees. Generally our
employees are not bound by employment or non-competition agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will retain our executive officers and other key employees. We could be seriously harmed by the
loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees. We will need to recruit and retain skilled management personnel, and if we are not able to do so, our business could be harmed. In
addition, in connection with expanding our design services offerings, we must attract and retain experienced design engineers. There is substantial competition in our industry for highly skilled
employees. Our failure to recruit and retain experienced design engineers could limit the growth of our design services offerings, which could adversely affect our business.

Failure to comply with domestic or international employment and related laws could result in the payment of significant damages, which would reduce our net income.

We are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign employment laws, including those related to safety, wages and overtime,
discrimination, whistle-blowing, classification of employees and severance payments. Enforcement activity relating to these laws, particularly outside of the United States, can increase as a result of
increased media attention due to violations by other companies, changes in law, political and other factors. There can be no assurance that we won't be found to have violated such laws in the future,
due to a more aggressive enforcement posture by governmental authorities or for any other reason. Any such violations could lead to the assessment of fines against us by federal, state or foreign
regulatory authorities or damages payable to employees, which fines could be substantial and which would reduce our net income.

We may encounter difficulties with acquisitions, which could harm our business.

We have completed numerous acquisitions of businesses and we may acquire additional businesses in the future. Any future acquisitions
may require additional equity financing, which could be dilutive to our existing shareholders, or additional debt financing, which could increase our leverage and potentially affect our credit
ratings. Any downgrades in our credit ratings associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our ability to borrow by resulting in more restrictive borrowing terms. As a result of the
foregoing, we also may not be able to complete acquisitions or strategic customer transactions in the future to the same extent as in the past, or at all.

To
integrate acquired businesses, we must implement our management information systems, operating systems and internal controls, and assimilate and manage the personnel of the acquired
operations. The difficulties of this integration may be further complicated by geographic distances. The integration of acquired businesses may not be successful and could result in disruption to
other parts of our business. In addition, the integration of acquired businesses may require that we incur significant restructuring charges.

the potential for deficiencies in internal controls at acquired companies;



increases in our expenses and working capital requirements, which reduce our return on invested capital;



lack of experience operating in the geographic market or industry sector of the acquired business; and



exposure to unanticipated liabilities of acquired companies.

These
and other factors have harmed, and in the future could harm, our ability to achieve anticipated levels of profitability at acquired operations or realize other anticipated benefits
of an acquisition, and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our strategic relationships with major customers create risks.

In the past, we have completed numerous strategic transactions with OEM customers. Under these arrangements, we generally acquire
inventory, equipment and other assets from the OEM, and lease or acquire their manufacturing facilities, while simultaneously entering into multi-year manufacturing and supply agreements for the
production of their products. We may pursue these OEM divestiture transactions in the future. These arrangements entered into with divesting OEMs typically involve many risks, including the
following:



we may need to pay a purchase price to the divesting OEMs that exceeds the value we ultimately may realize from the
future business of the OEM;



the integration of the acquired assets and facilities into our business may be time-consuming and costly, including the
incurrence of restructuring charges;



we, rather than the divesting OEM, bear the risk of excess capacity at the facility;



we may not achieve anticipated cost reductions and efficiencies at the facility;

we may be unable to meet the expectations of the OEM as to volume, product quality, timeliness and cost reductions;



our supply agreements with the OEMs generally do not require any minimum volumes of purchase by the OEMs, and the
actual volume of purchases may be less than anticipated; and



if demand for the OEMs' products declines, the OEM may reduce its volume of purchases, and we may not be able to
sufficiently reduce the expenses of operating the facility or use the facility to provide services to other OEMs.

As
a result of these and other risks, we have been, and in the future may be, unable to achieve anticipated levels of profitability under these arrangements. In addition, these strategic
arrangements have not, and in the future may not, result in any material revenues or contribute positively to our earnings per share.

Our business and operations could be adversely impacted by climate change initiatives.

Concern over climate change has led to international legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed and existing efforts to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions could directly or indirectly affect our costs of energy, materials,
manufacturing, distribution, packaging and other operating costs, which could impact our business and financial results.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly due to seasonal demand.

Two of our significant end markets are the mobile devices market and the consumer devices market. These markets exhibit particular
strength generally in the two quarters leading up to the end of the calendar year in connection with the holiday season. As a result, we have historically experienced stronger revenues in our second
and third fiscal quarters as compared to our other fiscal quarters. Economic or other factors leading to diminished orders in the end of the calendar year could harm our business.

Our debt level may create limitations.

As of March 31, 2014, our total debt was approximately $2.1 billion. This level of indebtedness could limit our
flexibility as a result of debt service requirements and restrictive covenants, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy.

Changes in our credit rating may make it more expensive for us to raise additional capital or to borrow additional funds.

Our credit is rated by credit rating agencies. Our 4.625% Notes and our 5.000% Notes are currently rated BB+ by Standard and Poor's
("S&P") and Ba1 by Moody's, and are considered to be below "investment grade" debt by Moody's and S&P. Any further decline in our credit rating may make it more expensive for us to raise additional
capital in the future on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all; negatively impact the price of our common stock; increase our interest payments under some of our existing debt agreements; and
have other negative implications on our business, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the interest rate payable on some of our credit facilities is subject to adjustment from time to
time if our credit ratings change. Thus, any potential future negative change in our credit rating may increase the interest rate payable on these credit facilities.

Our revenue and gross margin depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for products in the markets in which
our customers compete. Adverse worldwide economic conditions may create challenging conditions in the electronics industry. These conditions may result in reduced consumer and business confidence and
spending in many countries, a tightening in the credit markets, a reduced level of liquidity in many financial markets and high volatility in credit, fixed income and equity markets. In addition,
longer term disruptions in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business. If financial institutions that have extended credit commitments to us
are adversely affected by the conditions of the U.S. and international capital markets, they may become unable to fund borrowings under their credit commitments to us, which could have an adverse
impact on our financial condition and our ability to
borrow additional funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development and other corporate purposes.

The market price of our ordinary shares is volatile.

The stock market in recent years has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of
companies, including technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to or disproportionately impacted by the operating performance of these companies. The market for our ordinary
shares has been and may in the future be subject to similar volatility. Factors such as fluctuations in our operating results, announcements of technological innovations or events affecting other
companies in the electronics industry, currency fluctuations, general market fluctuations, and macro-economic conditions may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline.

The Company's goodwill and identifiable intangible assets could become impaired, which could reduce the value of its assets and reduce its net income in the year in which
the write-off occurs.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company also ascribes
value to certain identifiable intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology and trade names, among others, as a result of acquisitions. The Company may
incur impairment charges on goodwill or identifiable intangible assets if it determines that the fair values of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets are less than their current carrying values.
The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate all, or a portion, of the carrying amount of goodwill may no longer be recoverable, in which case
an impairment charge to earnings would become necessary.

Refer
to Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements and 'critical accounting policies' in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations for further discussion of the impairment testing of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

A
decline in general economic conditions or global equity valuations could impact the judgments and assumptions about the fair value of the Company's businesses and the Company could be
required to record impairment charges on its goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets in the future, which could impact the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as well as the Company's
consolidated statement of operations. If the Company was required to recognize an impairment charge in the future, the charge would not impact the Company's consolidated cash flows, current liquidity,
capital resources, and covenants under its existing credit facilities, asset securitization program, and other outstanding borrowings.

Our facilities consist of a global network of industrial parks, regional manufacturing operations, and design, engineering and product
introduction centers, providing approximately 26.0 million square feet of productive capacity as of March 31, 2014. We own facilities with approximately 8.3 million square feet in
Asia, 4.1 million square feet in the Americas and 2.3 million square feet in Europe. We lease facilities with approximately 5.7 million square feet in Asia, 3.5 million
square feet in the Americas and 2.0 million square feet in Europe.

Our
facilities include large industrial parks, ranging in size from under 100,000 to 3.1 million square feet in Brazil, China, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico,
Poland, Romania, and the Ukraine. We also have regional manufacturing operations, generally ranging in size from under 100,000 to approximately 2.7 million square feet in Austria, Brazil,
Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, the Ukraine and the United
States. We also have smaller design and engineering centers and product introduction centers at a number of locations in the world's major electronics markets.

Our
facilities are well maintained and suitable for the operations conducted. The productive capacity of our plants is adequate for current needs.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

INCOME TAXATION UNDER SINGAPORE LAW

Dividends. Singapore does not impose a withholding tax on dividends. All dividends are tax exempt to shareholders.

Gains on Disposal. Under current Singapore tax law there is no tax on capital gains, thus any profits from the disposal of shares are
not taxable in
Singapore unless the gains arising from the disposal of shares are income in nature and subject to tax, especially if they arise from activities which the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore regards
as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore (in which case, the profits on the sale would be taxable as trade profits rather than capital gains).

Shareholders
who apply, or who are required to apply, the Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 39 Financial InstrumentsRecognition and Measurement ("FRS 39") for the
purposes of Singapore income tax may be required to recognize gains or losses (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) in accordance with the provisions of FRS 39 (as modified by the
applicable provisions of Singapore income tax law) even though no sale or disposal of shares is made.

Stamp Duty. There is no stamp duty payable for holding shares, and no duty is payable on the acquisition of newly-issued shares. When
existing shares
are acquired in Singapore, a stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of the shares at the rate of two Singapore dollars ("S$") for every S$1,000 of the market value of the shares. The
stamp duty is borne by the purchaser unless there is an agreement to the contrary. If the instrument of transfer is executed outside of Singapore, the stamp duty must be paid only if the instrument of
transfer is received in Singapore.

Estate Taxation. The estate duty was abolished for deaths occurring on or after February 15, 2008. For deaths prior to
February 15,
2008 the following rules apply:

If
an individual who is not domiciled in Singapore dies on or after January 1, 2002, no estate tax is payable in Singapore on any of our shares held by the individual.

If
property passing upon the death of an individual domiciled in Singapore includes our shares, Singapore estate duty is payable to the extent that the value of the shares aggregated
with any other assets subject to Singapore estate duty exceeds S$600,000. Unless other exemptions apply to the other assets, for example, the separate exemption limit for residential properties, any
excess beyond S$600,000 will be taxed at 5% on the first S$12,000,000 of the individual's chargeable assets and thereafter at 10%.

An
individual shareholder who is a U.S. citizen or resident (for U.S. estate tax purposes) will have the value of the shares included in the individual's gross estate for U.S. estate tax
purposes. An individual shareholder generally will be entitled to a tax credit against the shareholder's U.S. estate tax to the extent the individual shareholder actually pays Singapore estate tax on
the value of the shares; however, such tax credit is generally limited to the percentage of the U.S. estate tax attributable to the inclusion of the value of the shares included in the shareholder's
gross estate for U.S. estate tax purposes, adjusted further by a pro rata apportionment of available exemptions. Individuals who are domiciled in Singapore should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the Singapore estate tax consequences of their investment.

Tax Treaties Regarding Withholding. There is no reciprocal income tax treaty between the U.S. and Singapore regarding withholding taxes
on dividends
and capital gains.

These historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in the future. The following selected
consolidated financial data set forth below was derived from our historical audited consolidated financial statements and is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with

In
fiscal year 2013, the Company finalized the sales of two non-core businesses. These non-core businesses represent separate asset groups and the
divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued operations within the
consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

Restructuring
charges incurred during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2010 were primarily intended to realign our corporate cost structure, and rationalize the
Company's global manufacturing capacity and infrastructure in response to weakened macro-economic conditions and decline in demand from our OEM customers.

(3)

The
net other charge in the fiscal year 2014 includes $55.0 million of charges related to a contractual obligation. Refer to note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Additionally, the Company recorded a loss of $7.1 million related to the sale of the underlying shares related to warrants to purchase
common shares of a certain supplier, and recognized a $4.6 million gain on the sale of certain investments.

The
net other income in the fiscal year 2013 includes the fair value change in warrants to purchase common shares of a certain supplier amounting to $74.4 million and loss on sale of two
investments.

The
net other income in the fiscal year 2012, relates to the $20.0 million gain on sale of certain international entities.

During
fiscal year 2011, the Company recognized a $13.2 million loss associated with the early redemption of the 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes and an $11.7 million loss in connection
with the divestiture of certain international entities. Additionally, the Company recognized a gain of $18.6 million associated with a sale of an equity investment that was previously fully
impaired.

The
Company recognized charges of $199.4 million in fiscal years 2010, for the loss on disposition, other-than-temporary impairment and other related charges on its investments in, and notes
receivable from, certain non-publicly traded companies.

(4)

During
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company identified certain accounting errors in the statutory-to-U.S. GAAP adjustments at one of
its foreign sites that originated in prior annual periods. Management conducted additional procedures and concluded that these errors were isolated to that location. These errors, which primarily
understated cost of sales, totaled $10.4 million and $8.0 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and were corrected by the Company as an
out-of-period adjustment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Management believes the impact of this item, to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and to prior fiscal years presented was
not material. As a result of recording these adjustments in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, net income for the year ended March 31, 2012 was reduced by $24.9 million ($0.03 per
share).

(5)

During
fiscal 2014, a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued a non-controlling equity interest to certain third party investors in
exchange for $38.6 million in cash for an ownership interest of less than 20% of the outstanding shares in the subsidiary. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2014, the non-controlling interest
has been included on the consolidated balance sheet as a component of total shareholders' equity.

the recent years, we have seen an increased level of diversification by many companies, primarily in the technology sector. Some companies that have historically identified
themselves as software providers, internet service providers or e-commerce retailers have started to enter the highly competitive and rapidly evolving hardware markets, such as mobile devices, home
entertainment and wearable devices. This trend has resulted in a significant change in the manufacturing and supply chain solutions requirements of such companies. While the products have become more
complex, the supply chain solutions required by such companies have become more customized and demanding, and it has changed the manufacturing and supply chain landscape significantly.

We
use a portfolio management approach to manage our extensive service offerings. As our OEM customers change in the way they go to market, we reorganize and rebalance our business
portfolio in order to align with our customers' needs and requirements and to optimize our operating results. With the acquisition of certain manufacturing operations from Google's Motorola
Mobility LLC during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we have experienced an increase in the percentage of our revenues from the HVS business group, and expect the amount of revenue from our
HVS business group, relative to total revenue, to stabilize going forward. The objective of our operating model is to allow us to redeploy and

reposition
our assets and resources to meet specific customer needs across all of the markets we serve, and we have been able to successfully reposition our assets and capacity between various
business groups to serve our customers as required, which illustrates the overall flexibility of our model.

During
fiscal years 2013 and 2014, we launched multiple programs broadly across our portfolio of services, and, in some instances, we deployed certain new technologies. We expect that
these new programs will continue to increase in complexity in order to provide competitive advantages to our customers. We anticipate these programs will continue ramping with an increase in volume
production during fiscal year 2015 and beyond. Until we achieve such higher levels of revenue, we expect that our gross margin and operating margin may be negatively impacted as profitability normally
lags revenue growth due to incremental start-up costs, operational inefficiencies, under-absorbed overhead costs and lower manufacturing program volumes while in the ramp phase. We expect that our
margins for these programs will improve over time as the revenue increases due to increased volumes.

We
are one of the world's largest providers of global supply chain solutions, with revenues of $26.1 billion in fiscal year 2014. We have established an extensive network of
manufacturing facilities in the world's major electronics markets (Asia, the Americas and Europe) in order to serve the growing outsourcing needs of both multinational and regional OEMs. We
design, build, ship, and service electronics products for our customers through a network of facilities in approximately 30 countries across four continents. As of March 31, 2014, our total
manufacturing capacity was approximately 26.0 million square feet. In fiscal year 2014, our net sales in Asia, the Americas and Europe represented approximately 53%, 31% and 16%, respectively,
of our total net sales, based on the location of the manufacturing site. The following tables set forth net sales and net property and equipment, by country, based on the location of our manufacturing
sites and the relative percentages:

We
believe that the combination of our extensive open innovation platform solutions, design and engineering services, advanced supply chain management solutions and services, significant
scale and global presence, and industrial campuses in low-cost geographic areas provide us with a competitive advantage and strong differentiation in the market for designing, manufacturing and
servicing

electronics
products for leading multinational and regional OEMs. Specifically, we have launched multiple product innovation centers ("PIC") focused exclusively on offering our OEM customers
the ability to simplify their global product development, manufacturing process, and after sales services, and enable them to achieve meaningful time to market and cost savings.

Our
operating results are affected by a number of factors, including the following:



changes in the macro-economic environment and related changes in consumer demand;



the mix of the manufacturing services we are providing, the number and size of new manufacturing programs, the degree to
which we utilize our manufacturing capacity, seasonal demand, shortages of components and other factors;



the effects on our business when our customers are not successful in marketing their products, or when their products do
not gain widespread commercial acceptance;



our ability to achieve commercially viable production yields and to manufacture components in commercial quantities to the
performance specifications demanded by our OEM customers;



the effects on our business due to our customers' products having short product life cycles;



our customers' ability to cancel or delay orders or change production quantities;

increased labor costs due to adverse labor conditions in the markets we operate; and



changes in tax legislation.

We
also are subject to other risks as outlined in Item 1A, "Risk Factors."

Net
revenues for fiscal year 2014 increased 10.8% or $2.5 billion to $26.1 billion. This increase was primarily attributable to our acquisition of certain manufacturing
operations from Google's Motorola Mobility LLC (Motorola), which was partially offset by the disengagement of our assembly activities with Blackberry during fiscal 2013, which contributed
revenue in that year of approximately $0.9 billion. Our revenue increased across all of the business groups we serve except for INS. Our fiscal year 2014 gross profit totaled
$1.4 billion, representing an increase of $274.0 million, or 23.5%, and our income from continuing operations totaled $365.6 million, representing an increase of
$63.1 million, compared to fiscal year 2013. Both gross profit and income from continuing operations increased primarily due to lower restructuring charges incurred during fiscal year 2014 as a
result of less cost reduction activities as compared to prior year. Additionally, the increase in income from continuing operations was partially offset by $55.0 million of other charges for a
contractual obligation for certain performance provisions as defined in an existing manufacturing agreement with a customer. Additionally, our income from continuing operations in fiscal year 2013
included a gain from the fair value adjustment of $74.4 million relating to warrants to purchase common shares of a supplier. These warrants were exercised and the underlying shares were sold
for total proceeds of $67.3 million resulting in a loss of $7.1 million that was recognized during fiscal 2014.

Cash
provided by operations increased approximately $101.0 million to $1.2 billion for fiscal year 2014 compared with $1.1 billion for fiscal year 2013 primarily due
to increased net income and to a lesser extent due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our average net working capital, defined as accounts receivable, including deferred purchase price
receivable from our asset-backed securitization programs plus inventory less accounts payable, as a percentage of annual sales was

approximately
6.8%, 7.8% and 6.2% for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in the percentage for the year ended March 31, 2014 is primarily
attributable to higher revenue from our HVS business which carries significantly higher inventory turns and customers with contractually shorter payment terms resulting in a decrease in our average
net working capital in fiscal year 2014. Our free cash flow, which we define as cash from operating activities less net purchases of property and equipment, was $701.5 million for fiscal year
2014 compared to $680.1 million for fiscal year 2013, primarily due to higher cash flows from operations partially offset by higher net capital expenditure. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital
Resources section for the free cash flows reconciliation to our most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of cash flows from operations. Cash used in financing activities amounted to
$410.8 million during fiscal year 2014 and included repurchases of approximately 60.7 million ordinary shares at an aggregate purchase value of $475.3 million. As of
March 31, 2014 and 2013, $5.5 million and $12.0 million was included in accrued expenses for approximately 0.6 million and 1.8 million ordinary shares, respectively,
that were not settled by the end of the year.

Additionally,
in response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, we initiated certain restructuring activities in fiscal years 2013 and 2014 intended to improve our operational
efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. The restructuring activities are intended to realign our corporate cost structure, and rationalize our global manufacturing capacity and
infrastructure which will result in a further shift of manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we recognized
$75.3 million of pre-tax restructuring charges primarily comprised of $73.4 million of cash charges predominantly related to employee severance costs. During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2013, we recognized $227.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges comprised of $123.0 million of cash charges primarily related to employee severance costs and
$104.4 million of non-cash charges primarily related to asset impairment and other exit charges.

We
believe that our business transformation has strategically positioned us very well to take advantage of the long-term, future growth prospects for outsourcing of advanced
manufacturing capabilities, design and engineering services and after-market services, which remain strong.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For further
discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Revenue Recognition

We recognize manufacturing revenue when we ship goods or the goods are received by our customer, title and risk of ownership have
passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal substantive customer acceptance requirements or further obligations
related to manufacturing services. If such requirements or obligations exist, then we recognize the related revenues at the time when such requirements are completed and the obligations are fulfilled.
Some of our customer contracts allow us to recover certain costs related to manufacturing services that are over and above the prices we charge for the related products. We determine the amount of
costs that are recoverable based on historical experiences and

agreements
with those customers. Also, certain customer contracts may contain certain commitments and obligations that may result in additional expenses or decrease in revenue. We accrue for these
commitments and obligations based on facts and circumstances and contractual terms. We also make provisions for estimated sales returns and other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized based
upon contractual terms and an analysis of historical returns. Provisions for sales returns and other adjustments were not material to our consolidated financial statements for any of the periods
presented.

We
provide a comprehensive suite of services for our customers that range from advanced product design to manufacturing and logistics to after-sales services. We recognize service
revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Our net sales for services were less than 10% of our total sales for all periods presented, and
accordingly, are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Customer Credit Risk

We have an established customer credit policy through which we manage customer credit exposures through credit evaluations, credit
limit setting, monitoring, and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and make provisions for doubtful
accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current economic trends, historical
experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent we identify exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, we also review other customer related exposures,
including but not limited to inventory and related contractual obligations.

Restructuring Charges

We recognize restructuring charges related to our plans to close or consolidate excess manufacturing and administrative facilities and
to realign our corporate cost structure. In connection with these activities, we recognize restructuring charges for employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other exit-related
costs.

The
recognition of these restructuring charges requires that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit
activity. To the extent our actual results differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional
restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. Such changes to previously estimated amounts may be material to the consolidated financial statements. At the end of each
reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in accordance with
developed exit plans.

Refer
to note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We review property and equipment and acquired amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of these long-lived assets exceeds their fair value. Recoverability of
property and equipment and acquired amortizable intangible assets are measured by comparing their carrying amount to the projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property and equipment and acquired amortizable intangible assets exceeds fair
value. Our judgments regarding projected cash flows for an extended period of time and the fair value of assets may be impacted by changes in market conditions, general business environment and other
factors. To the extent our estimates relating to cash flows and fair value of assets change adversely we may have to recognize additional impairment charges in the future.

Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Our industry is characterized by
rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand. We purchase our inventory based on forecasted demand, and we estimate write downs for excess and obsolete
inventory based on our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand, and the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from our customers. If actual market conditions or our
customers' product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional write downs may be required. In addition, unanticipated changes in the liquidity or financial position of our customers
and/or changes in economic conditions may require additional write downs for inventories due to our customers' inability to fulfill their contractual obligations with regard to inventory procured to
fulfill customer demand.

Contingent Liabilities

We may be exposed to certain liabilities relating to our business operations, acquisitions of businesses and assets and other
activities. We make provisions for such liabilities when it is probable that the settlement of the liability will result in an outflow of economic resources or the impairment of an asset. We make
these assessments based on facts and circumstances that may change in the future resulting in additional expenses.

Income Taxes

Our deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and
liabilities which will result in deductible amounts in future years, including net operating loss carry forwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it
is more likely than not that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to realize these deferred income tax assets. Our judgments regarding future
profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be
required to increase or decrease our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets previously recognized, resulting in additional or lesser income tax expense.

We
are regularly subject to tax return audits and examinations by various taxing jurisdictions and around the world, and there can be no assurance that the final determination of any tax
examinations will not be materially different than that which is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of a current or future
examination, there could be a material adverse effect on our tax position, operating results, financial position and cash flows. Refer to note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in
Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further discussion of our tax position.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial position and results of operations for certain of our subsidiaries are measured using a currency other than the U.S.
dollar as their functional currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet
dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these subsidiaries' financial statements
are reported as other comprehensive loss, a
component of shareholders' equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved, and re-measurement
adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, are included in operating results.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data expressed as a percentage of net
sales. The financial information and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8, "Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data." The data below, and discussion that follows, represents our results from operations.

Net sales

Net sales during fiscal year 2014 totaled $26.1 billion, representing an increase of $2.5 billion, or 10.8%, from
$23.6 billion during fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2014, net sales increased $2.0 billion in Asia and $0.9 billion in the Americas, offset by a decrease of
$0.4 billion in Europe.

Net
sales during fiscal year 2013 totaled $23.6 billion, representing a decrease of $5.8 billion, or 19.7%, from $29.3 billion during fiscal year 2012. Net sales
decreased across all of the geographical regions we serve, consisting of decreases of $3.7 billion in Asia, $1.2 billion in the Americas and $0.9 billion in Europe.

The
following table sets forth net sales by business groups and their relative percentages. Historical information has been recast to reflect realignment of customers and/or products
between business groups:

Net
sales during fiscal year 2014 increased (i) $2.5 billion or 40.0% in the HVS business group, (ii) $0.4 billion or 15.6% in the HRS business group and
(iii) less than $0.1 billion or 1.4% in the IEI business group. The increase in revenues from the HVS business group was primarily as a result of our acquisition of certain manufacturing
operations from Google's Motorola Mobility LLC (Motorola) during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which were partially offset by revenue reductions due to our disengagement with Blackberry
during fiscal 2013 which contributed revenues of $0.9 billion in that year. The increase in revenue from our HRS business group was attributable to our acquisition of Saturn Electronics and
Engineering Inc. during the last quarter of fiscal 2013 and our continued expansion with existing and new customers. The increase in these business groups was partially offset by a decrease in
sales from our INS business group amounting to $0.5 billion or 4.7% primarily attributable to broad softness in our connected home and telecom businesses, and server, storage and networking
businesses versus the prior year.

Net
sales during fiscal year 2013 decreased (i) $5.2 billion or 44.9% in the HVS business group, (ii) $0.8 billion or 7.1% in the INS business group and
(iii) $0.2 billion or 5.7% in the IEI business group. The decline in sales for our HVS business group was primarily due to our disengagement from our assembly business with Blackberry,
which resulted in an approximately $2.2 billion reduction of sales and our exit from the ODM PC business during fiscal 2012, which resulted in an approximately $1.6 billion reduction of
sales. The remainder of the decrease across the other business groups was attributable to reduced overall demand during fiscal year 2013. The decrease in these business groups was partially offset by
an increase in sales from our HRS business group amounting to $0.5 billion or 19.5%, primarily due to increased demand for our customer products in the automotive market and to a lesser extent
from our acquisition of Saturn Electronics and Engineering, Inc. during the last quarter of fiscal 2013.

Our
ten largest customers during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 accounted for approximately 52%, 47% and 55% of net sales, respectively. During fiscal year 2014, only Google (including
Motorola) accounted for greater than 10% of net sales. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net sales during fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2012 Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Blackberry
each accounted for greater than 10% of net sales.

Gross profit

Gross profit is affected by a number of factors, including the number and size of new manufacturing programs, product mix, component
costs and availability, product life cycles, unit volumes, pricing, competition, new product introductions, capacity utilization and the expansion
and consolidation of manufacturing facilities. The flexible design of our manufacturing processes allows us to build a broad range of products in our facilities and better utilize our manufacturing
capacity. In the cases of new programs, profitability normally lags revenue growth due to product start-up costs, lower manufacturing program volumes in the start-up phase, operational inefficiencies,
and under-absorbed overhead. Gross margin for these programs often improves over time as manufacturing volumes increase, as our utilization rates and overhead absorption improve, and as we increase
the level of manufacturing services content. As a result of these various factors, our gross margin varies from period to period.

Gross
profit during fiscal year 2014 increased $274.0 million to $1.4 billion from $1.2 billion during fiscal year 2013. Gross margin increased to 5.5% of net sales
in fiscal year 2014 as compared with 4.9% of net sales in fiscal year 2013. Gross margins improved 60 basis points in fiscal year 2014 compared to that of fiscal year 2013 primarily due to
restructuring charges of $58.6 million, or 20 basis points in fiscal year 2014 as compared to $215.8 million, or 90 basis points, in fiscal year 2013 included in cost of sales.

Gross
profit during fiscal year 2013 decreased $351.7 million to $1.2 billion from $1.5 billion during fiscal year 2012. Gross margin decreased to 4.9% of net sales
in fiscal year 2013 as compared with 5.2% of net sales in fiscal year 2012. Gross margins deteriorated 30 basis points in fiscal year 2013 compared to that of fiscal year 2012 primarily due to
restructuring charges of $215.8 million, or 90 basis points, included in cost of sales. The impact of the restructuring charges was partially offset by lower sales from our HVS business group
which generally carry lower margins than the overall margins in our other business groups. Further our fiscal 2012 operating results included a correction of an accounting error that had an
unfavorable impact of $23.9 million on our gross profit in that year.

Restructuring charges

In response to a challenging macroeconomic environment, we initiated certain restructuring activities to improve our operational
efficiencies by reducing excess workforce and capacity. The restructuring activities are intended to realign our corporate cost structure, and rationalize our global manufacturing capacity and
infrastructure which will further shift manufacturing capacity to locations with higher efficiencies.

During
fiscal year 2014, we recognized $75.3 million of pre-tax restructuring charges comprised of $73.4 million of cash charges predominantly related to employee severance
costs and $1.9 million of
non-cash charges related to asset impairment. The restructuring charges by geographic region amounted to $34.5 million in Asia, $24.9 million in the Americas and $15.9 million in
Europe. We classified $58.6 million of the charges incurred in fiscal 2014 as a component of cost of sales and $16.7 million as a component of selling, general and administrative
expenses. As of March 31, 2014, all plans have been completed and accrued costs related to restructuring charges incurred were $42.4 million, of which $36.3 million was classified
as a current obligation. We expect these restructuring activities will allow for potential savings through reduced employee expenses and lower operating costs and to yield annualized cost reductions
of approximately $15 million.

During
fiscal year 2013, we recognized $227.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges comprised of $123.0 million of cash charges predominantly related to employee
severance costs and $104.4 million of non-cash charges primarily related to asset impairment and other exit charges. The restructuring charges by geographic region amounted to
$108.4 million in Asia, $91.8 million in Europe and $27.2 million in the Americas. We classified $215.8 million of these charges as a component of cost of sales and
$11.6 million of these charges as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2013.

Refer
to note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further discussion of our restructuring activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") totaled $874.8 million or 3.4% of net sales, during fiscal year 2014,
compared to $805.2 million, or 3.4% of net sales, during fiscal year 2013, increasing by $69.6 million or 8.6%. The increase in SG&A in dollars was primarily attributable to
acquisitions, investments in our supply chain solutions, enhancement of our selling and business development activities and incremental corporate infrastructure to support the increasing complexities
of our business. While we continue to make investments to support our innovation initiatives and remain focused on our profitable growth in late fiscal year 2014, we have implemented certain cost
control measures.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses totaled $805.2 million or 3.4% of net sales, during fiscal year 2013, compared to $877.6 million, or 3.0% of net sales, during
fiscal year 2012, decreasing by $72.4 million or 8.2%. The decrease in SG&A in dollars was primarily attributable to the elimination of costs relating to our ODM PC business which we fully
exited during fiscal year 2012 and a

$28.0 million
provision for doubtful accounts recorded in fiscal 2012 related to a customer concentrated in the solar photovoltaic market. The increase of SG&A expenses as a percentage of net
sales is primarily attributable to lower revenues in fiscal 2013.

Intangible amortization

Amortization of intangible assets in fiscal year 2014 decreased by $0.6 million to $28.9 million from
$29.5 million in fiscal year 2013. Amortization of intangible assets in fiscal year 2013 decreased by $20.1 million from $49.6 million in fiscal year 2012 primarily due to the use
of the accelerated method of amortization for certain customer-related intangibles, which results in decreasing expense over time. Certain high valued intangible assets were fully amortized by the end
of fiscal 2012, resulting in lower amortization expense in the subsequent years.

Other charges (income), net

During fiscal year 2014, we recognized other charges of $57.5 million primarily due to a contractual obligation of
$55.0 million related to certain performance provisions as defined in an existing manufacturing agreement with a customer. Refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for
further discussion. Additionally, we exercised warrants to purchase common shares of a certain supplier and sold the underlying shares for a loss of $7.1 million, as further discussed below,
offset by a gain of $4.6 million recognized in connection with the sales of certain investments.

During
fiscal year 2013, we recognized other income of $65.2 million primarily due to an unrealized gain from the fair value adjustment of $74.4 million of warrants we held
to purchase common shares of a supplier. As discussed above we sold the underlying shares in 2014. The gain was offset by various losses from sale, or direct impairments of certain non-core equity
investments and notes receivable, and losses from sales of international entities that are individually immaterial.

During
fiscal year 2012, we recognized a net gain of $20.0 million, in connection with the sale of certain international entities.

Interest and other, net

Interest and other, net was $61.9 million during fiscal year 2014, compared to $56.3 million during fiscal year 2013, an
increase of $5.6 million that was primarily due to the refinancing of our lower rate floating interest debt with higher rate fixed interest Notes in February of fiscal 2013. Additionally, the
gains on foreign currency transactions attributable to our cross-border foreign currency transactions and the revaluation of RMB denominated net asset positions of our U.S. dollar functional currency
sites based in China decreased in fiscal year 2014. There can be no assurance that further gains from various arbitrage opportunities related to foreign exchange settlements in China will be available
in the future.

Interest
and other, net was $56.3 million during fiscal year 2013, compared to $36.0 million during fiscal year 2012, an increase of $20.3 million that was primarily
due to a decrease in gains on foreign exchange transactions attributable to our cross-border foreign currency transactions and the revaluation of RMB denominated net asset positions of our U.S. dollar
functional currency sites based in China.

Income taxes

Certain of our subsidiaries have, at various times, been granted tax relief in their respective countries, resulting in lower income
taxes than would otherwise be the case under ordinary tax rates. The consolidated effective tax rates were 8.7%, 8.0% and 9.4% for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective
rate varies from the Singapore statutory rate of 17.0% as a result of recognition of earnings in different jurisdictions, operating loss carry forwards, income tax credits, previously established
valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, liabilities for uncertain tax positions,

as
well as because of the effect of certain tax holidays and incentives granted to our subsidiaries primarily in China, Malaysia, Israel, and Singapore. We generate most of our revenues and profits
from operations outside of Singapore.

We
are regularly subject to tax return audits and examinations by various taxing jurisdictions and around the world, and there can be no assurance that the final determination of any tax
examinations
will not be materially different than that which is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of a current or future examination, there could
be a material adverse effect on our tax position, operating results, financial position and cash flows.

We
provide a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that in our estimation are not more likely than not to be realized. During fiscal year 2014, we released valuation allowances
totalling $36.9 million related to our operations in Brazil, India and Japan as these amounts were deemed to be more likely than not to be realized.

The
Mexican government enacted significant tax reform legislation during the third quarter fiscal 2014, which resulted in a net $4.3 million discrete tax expense. We do not
anticipate this tax reform to have a material impact to the ongoing effective tax rate.

See
note 13, "Income Taxes," to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further discussion.

Discontinued Operations

Consistent with our strategy to evaluate the strategic and financial contributions of each of our operations and to focus on the
primary growth objectives in our core manufacturing business activities, we finalized the sale of two of our non-core businesses during fiscal year 2013. These non-core businesses represent separate
asset groups and the divestitures qualify for reporting as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented, as
applicable.

The
results from discontinued operations were as follows:

Net
sales in fiscal year 2013 decreased $86.7 million as we decelerated operations while evaluating strategic alternatives for the businesses and due to the end of certain product
life cycles. We recognized a loss of $12.1 million as a result of the disposition of these non-core businesses in fiscal 2013 which is included in interest and other, net in the results from
discontinued operations.

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion and bank and other borrowings of
$2.1 billion. We have a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, under which we had no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2014.

Our
cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. As of March 31, 2014, over half of our cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries outside
of Singapore. Although substantially all of the amounts held outside of Singapore could be repatriated, under current laws, a significant amount could be subject to income tax withholdings. We provide
for tax liabilities on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for certain of our foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of Singapore (approximately
$779.0 million as of March 31, 2014). Repatriation could result in an additional income tax payment, however, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of Singapore and
our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our operations in jurisdictions outside of where they are held. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany
transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of Singapore and we would meet our liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.

Fiscal Year 2014

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 billion during fiscal year 2014, which resulted primarily from
$365.6 million of net income for the period plus $450.0 million of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense that are
included in the determination of net income. We generated $400.9 million in cash as a result of decreases in net operating assets. Net working capital ("NWC"), defined as net accounts
receivable, including deferred purchase price receivables, plus inventory less accounts payable increased by $233.7 million primarily to support the increase in our customers' forecasted
business levels. The increases in accounts receivable and inventory are primarily as a result of the increase in sales in our HVS business, which generally carry higher volumes than our other complex
business groups. The cash outflows to support NWC were offset by $540.6 million of cash received from certain customers as advances during the period. In certain instances the level of
inventory reduction or consumption was lower than expected causing an increase to inventory and usage of cash. In response, we worked with these customers to fund the elevated inventory balances we
held on their behalf. We have recorded these advances as other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and expect these amounts to decrease as we produce or
sell the associated inventory in the future.

Cash
used in investing activities during fiscal year 2014 was $783.9 million. This resulted primarily from $515.0 million in capital expenditures for equipment, net of
proceeds on sales. Our capital expenditures were related to investments to support innovation, expanding design capabilities, and improving our
mechanicals and automation capabilities. Additionally, we paid $238.0 million for the acquisition of four businesses during the fiscal year, of which the majority relates to the acquisition of
certain manufacturing operations from Google's Motorola Mobility LLC for $178.9 million and the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Riwisa AG for a total cash consideration of
$44.0 million, net of cash acquired amounting to $9.4 million. Refer to note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data".

Cash used in financing activities amounted to $410.8 million during fiscal year 2014, which was primarily attributable to the repurchase of approximately
60.7 million shares for an aggregate purchase value of approximately $475.3 million. Other financing cash inflows of $52.1 million includes $38.6 million received from
certain third parties for the non-controlling interest in one of our subsidiaries as further discussed in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data". Additionally, we entered into a $600 million term loan agreement due August 30, 2018 and used all of the proceeds to repay the outstanding balances of
our term loan due October 2014 and the Asia Term Loans in full amounting to $170.3 million and $374.5 million, respectively, and part of the term loan due March 2019.

Fiscal Year 2013

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion during fiscal year 2013, which resulted primarily from
$277.1 million of net income for the period plus $522.5 million of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense that are
included in the determination of net income. We generated $315.9 million in cash as a result of decreases in net operating assets. Our changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of
acquisitions is primarily due to a decrease of $519.1 million in accounts receivable and a decrease of $596.1 million in inventory, which was partially offset by a decrease in accounts
payable of $671.4 million
and a decrease in other current and noncurrent liabilities of $189.5 million. The decreases in accounts receivable and inventory are primarily as a result of the decrease in sales in our HVS
business, which generally carry higher volumes than our other complex business groups. The decrease in accounts payable is principally related to the decrease in inventory and timing of supplier
payments.

Cash
used in investing activities during fiscal year 2013 was $697.2 million. This resulted primarily from $435.3 million in capital expenditures for equipment, net of
proceeds on sales, and $184.1 million paid for the acquisition of four businesses during the fiscal year. We also spent approximately $115.3 million included in other investing cash
flows, offset by the receipt of cash included in other financing activities further discussed below to purchase assets financed by a third party banking institution on behalf of a customer.

Cash
used in financing activities amounted to $339.6 million during fiscal year 2013, which was primarily attributable to the repurchase of approximately 49.9 million
shares for an aggregate purchase value of approximately $322.0 million and repayment of the outstanding balance under our revolving line of credit of $140.0 million. These cash outflows
were offset by the receipt of $101.9 million included in other financing activities to purchase assets financed by a third party banking institution on behalf of a customer.

Fiscal Year 2012

Cash provided by operating activities was $804.3 million during fiscal year 2012, which resulted primarily from
$488.8 million of net income for the period plus $566.1 million of non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense that are
included in the determination of net income. We used $250.6 million in cash as a result of an increase in net operating assets. Our working capital accounts increased primarily due to a
decrease of $750.2 million in accounts payable and an increase of $30.2 million in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $301.1 million
principally due to the decline of sales in our HVS business groups, and an increase in deferred revenue and customer working capital advances of $249.8 million. The decrease in accounts payable
is principally related to the decrease in inventory and timing of supplier payments.

Cash
used in investing activities during fiscal year 2012 was $481.4 million. This resulted primarily from $388.0 million in capital expenditures for equipment, net of
proceeds on sales, and $92.3 million paid for three acquisitions completed during the year.

Cash
used in financing activities amounted to $522.2 million during fiscal year 2012, which was primarily attributable to the repurchase of approximately 81.7 million
shares for an aggregate purchase value of approximately $509.8 million. During fiscal year 2012 we also repaid $20.0 million of debt outstanding on our $2.0 billion revolving
credit facility.

Key Liquidity Metrics

Free Cash flow

We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated
that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions, repurchase company shares and for certain other activities. Our free cash flow, which is calculated as cash provided
by operations less net purchases of property and equipment, was $701.5 million, $680.1 million and $416.3 million for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Free
cash flow is not a measure of liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same
manner. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flows reconcile to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure of cash flows from operations as follows:

Days
in trade accounts receivable was calculated as average accounts receivable for the current and prior quarter, adding back the reduction in accounts receivable resulting from
non-cash accounts receivable sales, divided by annualized sales for the current quarter by day. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, days in trade accounts receivable decreased by
4 days to 42 days compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 largely due to a $409.1 million increase in sales of our accounts receivables for cash. Non-cash accounts
receivable sales or deferred purchase price receivables included for the purposes of the calculation were $470.9 million, $412.4 million and $514.9 million for the years ended
March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Deferred purchase price receivables were recorded in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Days
in inventory was calculated as average inventory for the current and prior quarter divided by annualized cost of sales for the current quarter by day. During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2014, days in inventory increased by 2 days to 54 days as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily as a result of the
positioning of raw material inventory to support the production ramp of several programs launched in the current fiscal year and also due to increased levels of inventory that we held as of
March 31, 2014 on behalf of certain customers, as discussed in the operating cash flow section above.

Days
in accounts payable was calculated as average accounts payable for the current and prior quarter divided by annualized cost of sales for the current quarter by day. During the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, days in accounts payable decreased by 2 days to 70 days compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to timing of
supplier payments and the increase in cost of sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Our
cash conversion cycle was calculated as days in trade receivables plus days in inventory, minus days in accounts payable and is a measure of how efficient we are at managing our
working capital. Our cash conversion cycle remained consistent at 26 days for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 compared to that of fiscal 2013 due to the factors affecting each of
the components in the calculation discussed above.

Liquidity
is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and
markets. Cash balances are generated and held in many locations throughout the world. Local government regulations may restrict our ability to move cash balances to meet cash needs under certain
circumstances; however, any current restrictions are not material. We do not currently expect such regulations and restrictions to impact our ability to pay vendors and conduct operations throughout
the global organization. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to
fund our operations through at least the next twelve months.

Future
liquidity needs will depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the timing of capital expenditures for new equipment, the extent to
which we utilize operating leases for new facilities and equipment, and the levels of shipments and changes in the volumes of customer orders.

Historically,
we have funded operations from cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, proceeds from public offerings of equity and debt securities, bank debt and lease
financings. We also sell designated pools of trade receivables under our asset-backed securitization ("ABS") programs and sell certain trade receivables, which are in addition to the trade receivables
sold in connection with these securitization agreements. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 we received approximately $4.2 billion, $3.5 billion and $4.7 billion,
respectively from sales of receivables under our ABS programs, and $3.4 billion, $1.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively from other sales of receivables. As of
March 31, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding balance on receivables sold for cash was $1.1 billion and $720.5 million, respectively, under all our accounts receivable sales programs,
which are removed from accounts receivable balances in our consolidated balance sheets.

We
anticipate that we will enter into debt and equity financings, sales of accounts receivable and lease transactions to fund acquisitions and anticipated growth. The sale or issuance of
equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current shareholders. Further, we may issue debt securities that have rights and privileges senior to those of holders of ordinary
shares, and the terms of this debt could impose restrictions on operations and could increase debt service obligations. This increased indebtedness could limit our flexibility as a result of debt
service requirements and restrictive covenants, potentially affect our credit ratings, and may limit our ability to access additional capital or execute our business strategy. Any downgrades in credit
ratings could adversely affect our ability to

borrow
as a result of more restrictive borrowing terms. We continue to assess our capital structure and evaluate the merits of redeploying available cash to reduce existing debt or repurchase ordinary
shares.

Historically
we have been successful in refinancing and extending the maturity dates on our term loans and credit facilities. On March 31, 2014, we extended the maturity date to
March 2019 of our $2.0 billion credit facility consisting of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $500.0 million term loan, which was due to expire in October 2016.
Further during fiscal 2013, we issued Notes of $1 billion with fixed interest rates and used such proceeds to repay our term loan that was due to mature in October 2014 that carried floating
interest rates.

On
July 24, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of our outstanding ordinary shares which was approved by our shareholders at the 2013 Extraordinary
General Meeting held on July 29, 2013. Share repurchases by us under the share repurchase plans are subject to an aggregate limit of 10% of our ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of the
2013 Extraordinary General Meeting. During fiscal year 2014, we repurchased approximately 59.5 million shares for an aggregate purchase value of approximately $468.8 million. As of
March 31, 2014, approximately 37.0 million shares were available to be repurchased under the current plan.

On
September 30, 2013, the Singapore Companies Act was amended to increase the share repurchase limit for companies incorporated in Singapore, from 10% to 20% of their shares
outstanding as of the most recent shareholder approval date, subject to the requirements under the Singapore Companies Act.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

We have a $2.0 billion credit facility consisting of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $500 million
term loan facility due to mature in March 2019. As of March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Quarterly repayments of principal under this term
loan will commence on June 30, 2014 in the amount of $6.3 million up to March 31, 2016 and will increase to $9.4 million thereafter with the remainder due upon maturity.
The credit facility requires that we maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), and a minimum interest
coverage ratio, as defined therein, during its term. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest, at the Company's
option, either at (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 1.125% and 2.125%, based on the Company's credit ratings or (ii) the base rate (the greatest of the
agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.125% and 1.125%, based on the Company's credit
rating. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging between 0.15% and 0.40% per annum on the daily unused amount of the $1.5 billion Revolving Credit Facility based on the
Company's credit rating.

In
addition, we have a $600 million term loan agreement which matures in August 2018. This loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $3.75 million, which will commence
in December 2014 through June 2018, with the remaining amount due at maturity. This term loan agreement also requires that we maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA, and a minimum
interest coverage ratio, as defined therein, during its term. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants under this term loan agreement. Borrowings under this term loan bear
interest, at the Company's option, either at (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranging between 1.00% and 2.00%, based on the Company's credit ratings or (ii) the base
rate (the greatest of the agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.00% and 1.00%, based
on the Company's credit rating.

Further,
during fiscal 2013, we issued an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion in Notes which are senior unsecured obligations, rank equally with all of our other existing and future
senior and

unsecured
debt obligations, and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally on an unsecured basis, by each of our 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under, or is
a borrower under, our $2.0 billion credit facility. In July 2013, the Company exchanged these notes for new notes with substantially similar terms and completed the registration of these notes
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants under these credit facilities. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, which
commenced on August 15, 2013.

As
of March 31, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries had various uncommitted revolving credit facilities, lines of credit and other loans in the amount of
$267.7 million in the aggregate under which there were no borrowings outstanding as of that date.

Refer
to the discussion in note 7, "Bank Borrowings and Long-Term Debt" to the consolidated financial statements for further details of our debt obligations.

We
have purchase obligations that arise in the normal course of business, primarily consisting of binding purchase orders for inventory related items and capital expenditures.
Additionally, we have leased certain of our property and equipment under capital lease commitments, and certain of our facilities and equipment under operating lease commitments.

Future
payments due under our purchase obligations, debt including capital leases and related interest obligations and operating lease contracts are as follows:

We
have excluded $243.9 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits from the contractual obligations table as we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the
periodic settlements with the respective taxing authorities. See note 13, "Income Taxes" to the consolidated financial statements for further details.

Our
purchase obligations can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period and can materially impact our future operating asset and liability balances, and our future working capital
requirements. We intend to use our existing cash balances, together with anticipated cash flows from operations to fund our existing and future contractual obligations.

As
part of an existing manufacturing agreement with a customer, we are obligated to reimburse the customer for certain performance provisions as defined in the contract. Also defined in
the contract are certain provisions that would allow us to recover these losses in future periods. The maximum commitment under this arrangement was initially $88.0 million and declines as we
manufacture and deliver products under the arrangement, which expires in August 2016. As of March 31, 2014, per the terms of the agreement and in conjunction with negotiations with the customer
during the fourth

quarter
of fiscal 2014, the contractual obligation for reimbursement was determined to be probable and accordingly we recorded $55.0 million to other charges (income), net in the consolidated
statements of operations. Reimbursement is not payable until August 2016 or upon contract termination and as a
result is included in other liabilities. We are finalizing an amendment to this agreement with the customer that includes a waiver of the $55.0 million contractual obligation. Upon the
execution of the amendment, if the contractual obligation is waived, we will reverse this charge with a corresponding credit to other income in the period the amendment is executed.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We sell designated pools of trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under our ABS programs, and in addition to cash,
we receive a deferred purchase price receivable for each pool of the receivables sold. Each of these deferred purchase price receivables serves as additional credit support to the financial
institutions and is recorded at its estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of our deferred purchase price receivable was approximately $470.9 million and
$412.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding balance on receivables sold for cash was $1.1 billion and $720.5 million, respectively, under

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

A portion of our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our investment portfolio, which consists of highly
liquid investments or bank deposits with maturities of three months or less from original dates of purchase and are classified as cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet. We do not use
derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We place cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions and highly rated money market accounts. Our investment policy
has strict guidelines focusing on preservation of capital. The portfolio is comprised of various instruments including term deposits with banks, marketable securities and money market accounts. . Our
cash is principally invested in the U.S. dollar and China renminbi serving as a natural hedge of our RMB denominated costs. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding amount in the investment
portfolio was $0.6 billion, the largest components of which were RMB denominated money market accounts with an average return of 4.5%. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not be
expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows over the next fiscal year.

We
had variable rate debt outstanding of approximately $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2014. Variable rate debt obligations consisted of borrowings under our term loans.
Interest on these obligations is discussed above.

Our
variable rate debt instruments create exposures for us related to interest rate risk. Primarily due to the current low interest rates a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates
would not be expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows over the next fiscal year.

As
of March 31, 2014, the approximate fair value of our debt outstanding under our term loan facilities that matures in March 2019 and August 2018, and Notes due February 2020 and
2023 was 101.0% of the face value of the debt obligations based on broker trading prices.

We transact business in various foreign countries and are, therefore, subject to risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
We have established a foreign currency risk management policy to manage this risk. To the extent possible, we manage our foreign currency exposure by evaluating and using non-financial techniques,
such as currency of invoice, leading and lagging payments and receivables management. In addition, we may borrow in various foreign currencies and enter into short-term foreign currency forward and
swap contracts to hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities, mainly accounts receivable and accounts payable, and cash flows denominated in non-functional
currencies.

We
endeavor to maintain a partial or fully hedged position for certain transaction exposures. These exposures are primarily, but not limited to, revenues, customer and vendor payments
and inter-company balances in currencies other than the functional currency unit of the operating entity. The credit risk of our foreign currency forward and swap contracts is minimized since all
contracts are with large financial institutions and accordingly, fair value adjustments related to the credit risk of the counter-party financial institution were not material. The gains and losses on
forward and swap contracts generally offset the losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions hedged. The fair value of currency forward and swap contracts is reported on the balance
sheet. The aggregate notional amount of outstanding contracts as of March 31, 2014 amounted to $4.5 billion and the recorded fair values of the associated assets and liabilities were not
material. The majority of these foreign exchange contracts expire in less than three months and all expire within one year. They will settle primarily in Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian
dollar, China renminbi, Danish kroner, the Euro, Hungarian forint, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar, Indian rupee, Swiss franc and the U.S. dollar.

Based
on our overall currency rate exposures as of March 31, 2014, including the derivative financial instruments intended to hedge the nonfunctional currency-denominated monetary
assets, liabilities and cash flows, a near-term 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar from its cross-functional rates would not be expected to have a material effect on our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows over the next fiscal year.

To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Flextronics International Ltd.
Singapore

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flextronics International Ltd. and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated May 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company's third fiscal quarter ends on December 31, and the fourth fiscal quarter and year ends on March 31 of each
year. The first fiscal quarter ended on June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively, and the second fiscal quarter ended on September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012,
respectively. Amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise designated.

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flextronics and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. For consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company
owns less than 100%, the Company recognizes a non-controlling interest for the ownership of the non-controlling owners. As of March 31, 2014, the non-controlling interest has been included on
the consolidated balance sheets as a component of total shareholders' equity. The associated non-controlling owners' interest in the income or losses of these companies has not been material to the
Company's results of operations for any of the periods presented, and has been classified as a component of interest and other, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

During
fiscal year 2013, the Company finalized the sale of two of its non-core businesses. In accordance with the accounting guidance, these non-core businesses represent separate asset
groups and the divestitures qualify as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the Company has reported the results of operations and financial position of these businesses in discontinued
operations within the consolidated statements of operation and consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented as applicable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things: allowances for doubtful
accounts; inventory write-downs; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; uncertain tax positions; valuation and useful lives of long-lived assets including property, equipment, intangible assets
and goodwill; asset impairments; fair values of financial instruments including investments, notes receivable and derivative instruments; restructuring charges; contingencies; fair values of assets
and liabilities obtained in business combinations and the fair values of stock options and share bonus awards granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Actual results may differ from
previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are
reflected in the period they occur.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial position and results of operations for certain of the Company's subsidiaries are measured using a currency other than the
U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance
sheet dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these subsidiaries' financial
statements are reported as other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the entity involved, and
re-measurement adjustments for foreign operations where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, are included in operating results. Non-functional currency transaction gains and losses, and
re-measurement adjustments were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations for any of the periods presented, and have been classified as a component of interest and other, net in
the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes manufacturing revenue when it ships goods or the goods are received by its customer, title and risk of ownership
have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and recoverability is reasonably assured. Generally, there are no formal substantive customer acceptance requirements or further
obligations related to manufacturing services. If such requirements or obligations exist, then the Company recognizes the related revenues at the time when such requirements are completed and the
obligations are fulfilled. Some of the Company's customer

contracts
allow the recovery of certain costs related to manufacturing services that are over and above the prices charged for the related products. The Company determines the amount of costs that are
recoverable based on historical experiences and agreements with those customers. Also, certain customer contracts may contain certain commitments and obligations that may result in additional expenses
or decrease in revenue. The Company accrues for these commitments and obligations based on facts and circumstances and contractual terms. The Company also makes provisions for estimated sales returns
and other adjustments at the time revenue is recognized based upon contractual terms and an analysis of historical returns. Provisions for sales returns and other adjustments were not material to the
consolidated financial statements for any of the periods presented.

The
Company provides a comprehensive suite of services for our customers that range from advanced product design to manufacturing and logistics to after-sales services. The Company
recognizes service revenue when the services have been performed, and the related costs are expensed as incurred. Sales for services were less than 10% of the Company's total sales for all periods
presented, and accordingly, are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized research and development costs related to its ODM personal computing business
of $78.9 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012. Research and development activities related to ODM personal computing had ceased by the end of fiscal year 2012.

Customer Credit Risk

The Company has an established customer credit policy, through which it manages customer credit exposures through credit evaluations,
credit limit setting, monitoring, and enforcement of credit limits for new and existing customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and makes
provisions for doubtful accounts based on the outcome of those credit evaluations. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on specific customer circumstances, current
economic trends, historical experience with collections and the age of past due receivables. To the extent the Company identifies exposures as a result of credit or customer evaluations, the Company
also reviews other customer related exposures, including but not limited to inventory and related contractual obligations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable, cash
and cash equivalents, and derivative instruments.

The
following table summarizes the activity in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012:

customers accounted for approximately 11% and 10%, respectively of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2012. The Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 52%, 47%, and 55% of its net
sales in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, one customer accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's total accounts receivables. As of March 31,
2013, no single customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total accounts receivable.

The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. These financial institutions are located in
many different locations throughout the world. The Company's investment portfolio, which consists of short-term bank deposits and money market accounts, and are classified as cash equivalents on the
consolidated balance sheet.

The
amount subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments is generally limited to the amount, if any, by which a counterparty's obligations exceed the obligations of the
Company with that counterparty. To manage counterparty risk, the Company limits its derivative transactions to those with
recognized financial institutions. See additional discussion of derivatives at note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from original dates of purchase are carried at cost, which
approximates fair market value, and are considered to be cash

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. The stated cost is comprised of direct
materials, labor and overhead. The components of inventories, net of applicable lower of cost or market write-downs, were as follows:

Total
depreciation expense associated with property and equipment amounted to approximately $424.8 million, $412.3 million and $407.5 million in fiscal years 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively. Property and equipment excludes assets no longer in use and held for sale as a result of restructuring activities, as discussed in note 11 to the consolidated
financial statements.

The
Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
of property and equipment is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the projected undiscounted cash flows the property and equipment are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized
when the carrying amount of property and equipment exceeds its fair value.

Deferred Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities by applying the
applicable statutory tax rate to such differences. Additionally, the Company assesses whether each income tax position is "more likely than not" of being sustained on audit, including resolution of
related appeals or litigation, if any. For each income tax position that meets the "more likely than not" recognition threshold, the Company would then assess the largest amount of tax benefit that is
greater than 50% likely of being realized upon effective settlement with the tax authority.

Accounting for Business and Asset Acquisitions

The Company has actively pursued business and asset acquisitions, which are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
The fair value of the net assets acquired and the results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates forward. The Company is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the reporting period.

Estimates
are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of acquired net operating assets, property and equipment, intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities, useful lives
of plant and equipment and amortizable lives for acquired intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities acquired is
recognized as goodwill.

The
Company estimates the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information available at that time. Contingent consideration is
recorded at fair value as of the date of the acquisition with subsequent adjustments recorded in earnings. Changes to valuation allowances on acquired deferred tax assets are recognized in the
provision for, or benefit from, income taxes. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is subject to further management review and may change materially
between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period. Any changes in these estimates may have a material effect on the Company's consolidated operating results or
financial position.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of goodwill may not be recoverable. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the
reporting unit, which is measured based upon, among other factors, market multiples for comparable companies as well as a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has one reporting unit: Electronics
Manufacturing Services ("EMS"). If the recorded value of the assets, including goodwill, and liabilities ("net book value") of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss may be
required to be recognized. Further, to the extent the net book value of the Company as a whole is greater than its fair value in the aggregate, all, or a significant portion of its goodwill may be
considered impaired. The Company performed its goodwill impairment assessment on January 31, 2014 and did not elect to perform the qualitative "Step Zero" assessment. Instead the Company
performed a quantitative assessment of its goodwill at the afore-mentioned date. Based on this assessment the Company determined that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test. The
fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

The
goodwill generated from the Company's business combinations completed during the years 2014 and 2013 are primarily related to value placed on the
employee workforce, service offerings and capabilities and expected synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Refer to the discussion of the Company's business acquisitions in
note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

(2)

Includes
adjustments based on management's estimates resulting from their review and finalization of the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired
through certain business combinations completed in a period subsequent to the respective acquisition. These adjustments were not individually, nor in the aggregate, significant to the Company.

The
Company's acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The Company
reviewed the carrying value of its intangible assets as of March 31, 2014 and concluded that such amounts continued to be recoverable.

Intangible
assets are comprised of customer-related intangible assets, which primarily include contractual agreements and customer relationships; and licenses and other intangible
assets, which is primarily comprised of licenses and also includes patents and trademarks, and developed technologies. Generally customer-related intangible assets are amortized on an accelerated
method based on
expected cash flows, primarily over a period of up to eight years. Licenses and other intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight line basis over a period of up to seven years. No residual
value is estimated for any intangible assets. The fair value of the Company's intangible assets purchased

through
business combinations is principally determined based on management's estimates of cash flow and recoverability. The components of acquired intangible assets are as follows:

The
gross carrying amounts of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts have been fully amortized. During fiscal year 2014, the gross carrying amounts of such intangible
assets fully
amortized and removed totaled $117.9 million. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company's customer-related intangible assets, and licenses and other intangible assets increased
by $15.8 million and $6.9 million respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of Riwisa AG as further discussed in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. Total
intangible asset amortization expense recognized in continuing operations during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $28.9 million, $29.5 million and $49.6 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2014, the weighted-average remaining useful lives of the Company's intangible assets were approximately 2.7 years and 4.1 years for customer-related intangibles,
and licenses and other intangible assets, respectively. The estimated future annual amortization expense for acquired intangible assets is as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative instrument is designated
as a cash flow hedge, effectiveness is tested monthly using a regression analysis of the change in the spot currency rates and the change in the present value of the spot currency rates. The spot
currency rates are discounted to present value using functional currency LIBOR rates over the maximum length of the hedge period. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument (excluding time value) is recognized in shareholders' equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective and excluded portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings immediately. If the

derivative
instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings
in the current period. Additional information is included in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets includes approximately $470.9 million and $412.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively for the deferred purchase price receivable from our Global and North American Asset-Backed Securitization programs. See note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding the Company's participation in its trade receivables securitization programs. Also included in other current assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were certain
assets purchased on behalf of a customer and financed by a third party banking institution of $267.5 million and $251.3 million, respectively, as further described in note 17 to
the consolidated financial statements.

Investments

The Company's investments are included as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has certain equity investments
in, and notes receivable from, non-publicly traded companies which are included within other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Non-majority-owned investments are accounted for using
the equity method when the Company has an ownership percentage equal to or greater than 20% but less than 50%, or has the ability to significantly influence the operating decisions of the issuer;
otherwise the cost method is used. The Company monitors these investments for impairment indicators and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values as required. Fair values of these investments,
when required, are estimated using unobservable inputs, primarily discounted cash flow projections.

As
of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's equity investments in non-majority owned companies totaled $77.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively. The equity in
the earnings or losses of the Company's equity method investments was not material to the consolidated results of operations for any period presented and is included in interest and other, net.

The
investments balance as of March 31, 2013 includes $74.4 million relating to the fair value of certain fully vested warrants to purchase common stock of a supplier.
These warrants were exercised and the underlying shares were sold for total proceeds of $67.3 million resulting in a loss of $7.1 million that was recognized during fiscal 2014.

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities include customer working capital advances of $754.7 million and $214.1 million, and deferred
revenue of $296.3 million and $227.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The customer working capital advances are not interest bearing, do not have fixed
repayment dates and are generally reduced as the underlying working capital is consumed in production. Also included in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were amounts
financed by a third party banking institution for the purchase of assets on behalf of a customer of $286.5 million and $272.8 million, respectively, as further described in
note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes restructuring charges related to its plans to close or consolidate excess manufacturing and administrative
facilities. In connection with these activities, the Company records restructuring charges for employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other exit-related costs.

The
recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit
activity. To the extent the Company's actual results differ from its estimates and assumptions, the Company may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of
additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. Such changes to previously estimated amounts may be material to the consolidated financial statements. At the end
of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in
accordance with developed exit plans. See note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding restructuring charges.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires an entity to report a disposal of a
component of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component of an entity
meets certain criteria to be classified as held for sale when the component of an entity is disposed of by a sale or disposed of other than by a sale. Further, additional disclosures about
discontinued operations should include the following for the periods in which the results of operations of the discontinued operations are presented in the statement of operations: the major classes
of line items constituting pretax profit or loss of discontinued operations; total operating and investing cash flows of discontinued operations; depreciation, amortization, capital expenditures, and
significant operating and investing noncash items of discontinued operations; pretax profit or loss attributable to the parent if a discontinued operation includes a non-controlling interest; a
reconciliation of major classes of assets, liabilities of the discontinued operation classified as held for sale; and a reconciliation of major classes of line items constituting the pretax profit or
loss of the discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2016, and will impact the Company's assessment of any future discontinued operations.

In
July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements as a reduction to deferred tax assets for net operating
loss carryforwards,
similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards. To the extent these are not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a
liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This disclosure is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2015, and is not expected to have a significant impact to the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In
February 2013, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including the amount the reporting
entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors, as well as discussion of the
nature of such obligations.

This
disclosure is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2015, and is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plans

During fiscal year 2014, the Company granted equity compensation awards under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan") and the
2013 Elementum Plan (the "Elementum Plan"). The 2010 Plan is administered by Flextronics International Ltd., while the Elementum Plan is administered by Elementum SCM (Cayman) Limited, a
majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan of Flextronics International Ltd.

As
of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 38.1 million shares available for grants under the 2010 Plan. Options issued to employees
under the 2010 Plan generally vest over four years and expire seven years from the date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors expire five years from the date of grant.

The
exercise price of options granted to employees is determined by the Company's Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and may not be less than the closing price of the
Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant.

The
Company also grants share bonus awards under its equity compensation plan. Share bonus awards are rights to acquire a specified number of ordinary shares for no cash consideration in
exchange for continued service with the Company. Share bonus awards generally vest in installments over a three to five year period and unvested share bonus awards are forfeited upon termination of
employment. Vesting for certain share bonus awards is contingent upon both service and market conditions.

As
required by the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation, management made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs only for those equity
awards expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as an analysis of actual forfeitures.

As
of March 31, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share options granted to employees under the Company's 2010 Plan was approximately
$0.6 million, net of estimated

forfeitures.
This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.0 year and will be adjusted for estimated forfeitures. As of March 31,
2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share bonus awards granted to employees was approximately $77.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be
amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years and will be adjusted for estimated forfeitures. Approximately $15.0 million of the
unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, is related to share bonus awards granted to certain key employees whereby vesting is contingent on meeting a certain market condition.

Cash
flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax benefits related to the excess of proceeds from employee exercises of share options over the share-based compensation cost recognized
for those options) are classified as financing cash flows. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not recognize any excess tax benefits as a financing cash inflow.

Determining Fair Value

Options

Valuation and Amortization MethodThe Company estimates the fair value of share options granted under the 2010 Plan using the Black-Scholes valuation
method and a single option award approach. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair
market value of share bonus awards granted, other than those awards with a market condition, is the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant and is generally recognized as
compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period.

Expected TermThe Company's expected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation method represents the period that the Company's share options are
expected to be outstanding and is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share options, vesting schedules and expectations of
future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its share options.

Expected VolatilityThe Company's expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is derived from a combination of implied volatility
related to publicly traded options to purchase Flextronics ordinary shares and historical variability in the Company's periodic share price.

Expected DividendThe Company has never paid dividends on its ordinary shares and currently does not intend to do so in the near term, and
accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

Risk-Free Interest RateThe Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently
available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities issued with a term equivalent to the expected term of the option.

There were no options granted under the 2010 Plan during fiscal year 2014. The fair value of the Company's share options granted to employees for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 was estimated
using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Share bonus awards with service and market conditions

Valuation and Amortization MethodThe Company estimates the fair value of share bonus awards granted under the 2010 Plan whereby vesting is contingent
on meeting certain market conditions using Monte Carlo simulation. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is the service period.

Expected volatility of FlextronicsVolatility used in Monte Carlo simulation is derived from the historical volatility of Flextronics' stock price
over a period equal to the service period of the share bonus awards granted. The service period is three years for those share bonus awards granted in fiscal years 2014 and 2013, and four years for
those share bonus awards granted in fiscal year 2012.

Average peer volatilityVolatility used in Monte Carlo simulation is derived from the historical volatilities of both the S&P 500 index and
components of an extended Electronics Manufacturing Services ("EMS") group, comprised of global competitors of the Company within the same industry, for the share bonus awards granted in fiscal year
2014, and historical volatilities of the S&P 500 index for the share bonus awards granted in fiscal years 2013 and 2012 based on the various service periods.

Average Peer CorrelationCorrelation coefficients were used to model the movement of Flextronics' stock price relative to both the S&P 500
index and peers in the extended EMS group for the share bonus awards granted in fiscal 2014, and relative to the S&P 500 index for the share bonus awards granted in fiscal 2013 and 2012.

Expected DividendThe Company has never paid dividends on its ordinary shares and currently does not intend to do so in the near term, and
accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

Risk-Free Interest RateThe Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Monte Carlo simulation on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury
bills, as of the measurement date.

The
fair value of the Company's share-bonus awards, whereby vesting is contingent on meeting certain market conditions, for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was estimated using the
following weighted-average assumptions:
